List Of Iranian Four-thousanders
This list contains all of the summits and subsidiary tops of or more above sea level in Iran. Since there is no precise or formal definition of a mountain summit, the number of 4000-metre summits or four-thousanders is arbitrary. Topographic prominence is an important factor in deciding the official nomination of a summit. The list here is based not only on prominence but also on other criteria, such as morphology (general appearance) and mountaineering interest. A minimum prominence criterion of 500 metres would considerably reduce the number of four-thousanders. List The table shows the four-thousanders in Iran. There are several summits in the list with multiple peaks, where only the highest is listed. ''Clicking the symbol at the head of the column sorts the table by that column's data.''

It covers an area of , making it the 17th-largest country. Iran has a population of 86 million, making it the 17th-most populous country in the world, and the second-largest in the Middle East. Its largest cities, in descending order, are the capital Tehran, Mashhad, Isfahan, Karaj, Shiraz, and Tabriz. The country is home to one of the world's oldest civilizations, beginning with the formation of the Elamite kingdoms in the fourth millennium BC. It was first unified by the Medes, an ancient Iranian people, in the seventh century BC, and reached its territorial height in the sixth century BC, when Cyrus the Great f ...

Four-thousanders Of Asia
A four-thousander is a mountain summit that is at least 4,000 metres above sea level. Because the highest peaks in Europe fall into this category, the summits of four-thousanders are popular in Europe with climbers and mountaineers as climbing goals. Although climbing these peaks does not require an expedition to be mounted (unlike the highest peaks in other continents), knowledge and experience of high altitude climbing is a pre-requisite for attempting these peaks. Europe → See: ''List of Alpine four-thousanders'' Four-thousanders are the highest mountains and summits in Europe and are all found in the Alps. There is no agreement over where the boundary is between Europe and Asia which is why there is a dispute over which continent the over 5,000 metres high Caucasus range is in. In the Alps the highest four-thousander is Mont Blanc at 4,810 metres, the lowest, at exactly 4,000 metres is the eastern summit of Les Droites. The exact number of Alpine four-thousan ...

Mountains Of Iran
A mountain is an elevated portion of the Earth's crust, generally with steep sides that show significant exposed bedrock. Although definitions vary, a mountain may differ from a plateau in having a limited summit area, and is usually higher than a hill, typically rising at least 300 metres (1,000 feet) above the surrounding land. A few mountains are isolated summits, but most occur in mountain ranges. Mountains are formed through tectonic forces, erosion, or volcanism, which act on time scales of up to tens of millions of years. Once mountain building ceases, mountains are slowly leveled through the action of weathering, through slumping and other forms of mass wasting, as well as through erosion by rivers and glaciers. High elevations on mountains produce colder climates than at sea level at similar latitude. These colder climates strongly affect the ecosystems of mountains: different elevations have different plants and animals. Because of the less hospitable terrain ...

List Of Ultras Of West Asia
This is a list of all 101 of the ultra-prominent peaks (with topographic prominence greater than 1,500 metres) in West Asia. It includes peaks on the islands of Cyprus and Socotra. It also includes the 10 ultras of the Caucasus (also listed under Europe) as they are geographically more connected to the mountains of West Asia. Two of these peaks (Mount Aragats and Kapudzhukh Lerr) are on the Asian side of the ridge of the Greater Caucasus, which forms the boundary between Asia and Europe, and four more are on the border itself and so in both Europe and Asia.

Azad Kuh
Azad Kooh ( fa, آزادکوه) is one of the highest peaks in the central Alburz Range in Mazandaran province north of Iran. In Persian Kooh means mountain and Azad means free, so Azad Kooh can be translated to ''The Free Mountain''. This name is probably chosen by local people because of Azad Kooh's cone like shape and the fact that it is not connected to its surrounding peaks. Climbing Azad Kooh Azad kooh is not a technical climb and you won't need any technical gear to climb the mountain in summer. There are two routes for climbing this peak, the easier and shorter one is from ''Kalaak-e-Baalaa'' village and the longer one is from ''Vaarange Rud'' village. The former takes 1–2 days and the latter 2–4 days. There is no shelter on either route and you need to carry your own tent if you are planning to camp. Azad Kooh is not such an easy climb in the winter, there will be a considerable amount of snow and the potential danger of avalanche in either route. References {{re ...
