Bazmān

Bazman rises above the arid plains of southeastern Iran, its summit crowned by a crater roughly five hundred metres across. The great stratovolcano is accompanied by smaller cones on its flanks, some of which produced flows of dark lava. Channels carved by runoff descend from the mountain into the surrounding desert. No historical eruption is known, although slight emissions of volcanic gases have been reported. Its broad slopes and isolated peak form a conspicuous landmark in the dry interior north of Makran.
