On which mountain range does Genesis say Noah’s Ark came to rest?

Genesis says Noah’s Ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat.

Genesis 8:4 says that the ark rested on the mountains of Ararat after the floodwaters receded. The wording refers to a mountainous region rather than explicitly naming one individual summit. Ararat was associated with the ancient kingdom of Urartu, located around parts of modern eastern Turkey, Armenia, and nearby areas.

Mount Ararat, the prominent volcanic peak in eastern Turkey, later became the best-known candidate in popular traditions about the ark’s location. However, the biblical wording does not identify that peak by name. It also does not establish a confirmed archaeological location for the vessel.

Stories of expeditions and alleged ark discoveries have appeared for centuries, but no accepted evidence has verified that Noah’s Ark has been found. The mountain reference remains a central geographical detail of the Genesis account.
