In the biblical Noah's Ark account, on which mountain range did the Ark come to rest?

In the biblical Noah's Ark account, the Ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat.

Genesis 8:4 says that the Ark rested on the mountains of Ararat in the seventh month. The wording refers to a mountainous region rather than explicitly naming one single peak. Ararat was an ancient geographical designation associated with a kingdom or area in the region of eastern Anatolia and nearby lands.

A common modern retelling identifies the location specifically with Mount Ararat, the prominent volcanic peak in present-day eastern Turkey. The biblical text, however, uses the plural phrase “mountains of Ararat,” so the exact site is not established by Genesis.

Many expeditions and popular claims have searched for physical remains of the Ark, but no discovery has been generally accepted by archaeologists as proof of the biblical vessel. The location remains important in religious tradition and cultural history.
