Vayots sar

Вайоц сар · Վայոց սար

Vayots sar is an extinct volcano in southern Armenia's Vayots Dzor province. Sources give its height as either 2,575 or 2,581 meters, depending on the measurement. Locally it's also known as Dalik Tapa, an alternate name for the same peak.

The mountain sits on the boundary between the Jermuk and Malishka communities, about 3 km southwest of the village of Karmrashen. It's a Quaternary-period formation, built up from cinder and scoria, with a truncated cone shape and a funnel-shaped crater roughly 125 meters deep.

The slopes are used today as pasture.
