Facts About Mount Ararat (Turkey) For Kids

Basic Information & Location

Mount Ararat stands majestically in eastern Turkey, near the borders of Armenia and Iran, making it a meeting point of three different countries!

Mount Ararat isn’t just one mountain — it’s actually made up of two volcanic cones: Greater Ararat and Little Ararat, like a big brother and little sister standing together!

The summit of Mount Ararat reaches an impressive height of 16,854 feet (5,137 meters) — that’s about as tall as 970 adult giraffes standing on top of each other!

Mount Ararat’s base spans about 25 miles (40 kilometers) in diameter — imagine running around it would be like running a marathon!
