Sabalan or Savalan (native: ساوالان[sævæ'lɒːn])[2] is an inactive stratovolcano in northwestern Iran located in Ardabil province.
At 4,794 metres (15,728 ft) above sea level, it is the third-highest mountain in Iran. A permanent crater lake has formed at its summit. On one of its slopes around 3,600 metres (11,800 ft) there are large rock formations of eroded volcanic outcrops that resemble animals, birds, and insects.
