Mount Damāvand (Persian: دماوند ) also known as Donbavand, is a dormant volcano and the highest peak in Iran with a special place in the Persian mythology and folklore. Located in the middle Alborz Range, adjacent to Varārū, Sesang, Gol-e Zard and Mīānrūd, it is the highest point in the Middle East and the highest volcano in all of Asia. Though not volcanically active[2], there are fumaroles near the summit crater that deposit sulfur, which were most recently known to be active since July 6, 2007[3]. The mountain is located near the southern coast of the Caspian Sea, in Āmol county, Māzandarān, 66 kilometres (41 miles) northeast of Tehran.

    Mount Damavand(5671m, 18624ft) is the highest peak in Persian Plateau (largly present day Iran). It is located in the Alborz mountain range, which bounds the Caspian sea to the south and has more than 4 dozen summits above 4000m. Damavand is a volcano with the last radiometrically dated eruption about 35000 year ago. Today someone still can spot the hot gases (fumaroles) emerging near the summit and there are dozens of hot mineral springs in the lower elevations.
