Mount Ararat lies in the far east of Turkey close to the borders with Iran, Iraq and Armenia. This area is also one of internal unrest, being a Kurdish region. We were lucky to visit it in 1988, a period of relative calm, when the area was being promoted as a tourist destination. We acclimatised in the Kackar mountains, which are still accessible to visitors and in many ways more attractive to mountain walkers since they comprise a complete range of mountains, rising to 3932m, rather than the isolated volcanic cone of Ararat. Ararat is the great prize however for mountain collectors, not only because it is the highest summit in Turkey but also for its historical significance. Our ascent was preceded by a visit to a recent discovery, thought by some to be the remains of Noah's Ark, although actually most probably a natural rock phenomenon with the shape of an enormous ship.
