Little Ararat also known as Mount Sis or Lesser Ararat (Turkish: Küçük Ağrı Armenian: Փոքր Արարատ Pok’r Ararat or Սիս Sis) is the sixth tallest peak in Turkey. Until 1932 Little Ararat was on the Iranian side of the border. In 1932 Turkey and Iran had a border exchange agreement where Iran left this mountain in return for a town in Van. It is a large satellite cone located on the eastern flank of the massive Mount Ararat less than five miles west of Turkey’s border with Iran.
