Damavand-Pool

Damavand Pool
Damavand is placed in the middle of Elborz Mountains approx 60 Km south of Caspian Sea. Damawand giant volcano has a small glacier at its crater summit which is usually frozen but in a hot summer it may melt and make some water to form a small pool, also called the summit lake.

Damavand Pool

The pool is located at about 5,650 meters above sea level which it is the highest pool in Middle East and is ranked No 9 in the World Highest Lake Ranking. Due to freezing temp at Damavand Summit, only few mountaineers have the chance to see water in this pool because it is an icy pool rather than a water lake. It disappears and freezes solid during the cold season. Related topic Damavand Pool.

If you climb the mountain in summer, do not miss this natural phenomenon. But be careful that the water in this pool is not drinking water. This pool cannot qualify as a true permanent lake because it will disappear during the cold season and it's too small. Generaly it is a small frozen pool.

Fuji or Damavand
19 November 2012 Posted by Sherppa

Fujiyama or Damavand this is the question?!
There is a nice image on the internet of a volcano with a beautiful lenticular cap clouds on its summit with no data about the title, location or the photographer, some Iranian believe this picture belongs to Damawand Volcano in Iran!

Fuji or Damavand ?!

If you have close look at this photo you will see a flat area (perhaps a small town near) and a lake at the lower part of the mountain. Remember there is not such a view closed to Mt Damawand in Iran. Read more in Damavand Info.

So this picture most probably belongs to Mt Fuji (Fujiyama or Fujisan 3776 m) Japan's highest peak. Fuji looks like the Iranian summit and it is so similar and almost twin sister of Damavand! Due to this similarity, some people are confused and not able to distinguish between the two volcanoes.
