Porak

Porak, also called Akharbakhar, is a stratovolcano in the Vardenis volcanic ridge in Gegharkunik region, rising to 3,047 meters. It stands about 20 km southeast of Lake Sevan and roughly 9.5 km southeast of the village of Geghakar.

The volcanic field it forms part of straddles the border between Armenia and Azerbaijan, with lava flows reaching into both countries.

Ten satellite cones and fissure vents lie on its flanks. The Armenian scholar Ghevond Alishan recorded the peak under the name Poragn.

Porak lies in Gegharkunik region, near the village of Geghakar, ~109 km east of Yerevan (straight-line).
