Sahand (Persian: سهند), is a massive, heavily eroded stratovolcanoinEast Azerbaijan Province, northwestern Iran. At 3,707 m (12,162 ft), it is the highest mountain in the province of East Azerbaijan.

Sahand is one of the highest mountains in Iranian Azerbaijan, in addition to being an important dormant volcano in the country.[2] The Sahand mountains are directly south of Tabriz, the highest peak of which is Kamal at an elevation of 3,707 m (12,162 ft). Approximately 17 peaks can be accounted for as being over 3,000 m (9,843 ft) in height. Due to the presence of a variety of flora and fauna, the Sahand mountains are known as the bride of mountains in Iran.[3] Sahand is made chiefly of dacite and associated felsic rocks.

Winter sports[edit]

Sahand Ski Resort is on the northern foothills of the mountain and near the city of Tabriz.

Name[edit]

Iranian naval ships have been named for it including IRIS Sahand (1969), IRIS Sahand (2012), and Iranian IRIS Sahand (F-74).
