According to Genesis, what is the first mountain range named after the Ark comes to rest?

According to Genesis, the Ark comes to rest on the mountains of Ararat.

Genesis 8:4 says that the Ark comes to rest on the mountains of Ararat on the seventeenth day of the seventh month. The wording refers to a mountainous region or range, not necessarily to the single modern peak commonly called Mount Ararat.

This distinction matters because later traditions and expeditions often focus on Mount Ararat in eastern Turkey. Genesis itself does not identify a specific summit or provide coordinates. “Ararat” is linked by many scholars with the ancient kingdom of Urartu, a region associated with the Armenian highlands.

The passage also gives a date within the Flood chronology, but it does not say that the Ark is immediately accessible or that Noah leaves at that moment. The waters continue to recede before the family exits.
