Little Ararat (Turkish: Küçük Agri) is the sixth tallest peak in modern Turkey. It is a large satellite cone located on the eastern flank of the massive Mount Ararat. Despite being dwarfed by its higher and far more famous neighbor, Little Ararat is a significant volcano of its own with an almost perfectly symmetrical, conical form and smooth constructional slopes. It rises about 1,200 m (4,000 ft) above the saddle connecting it with the main peak.
