Which mountain region does Genesis associate with Noah’s Ark’s landing?

Genesis says Noah’s Ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat. Genesis 8:4 uses a plural regional expression rather than naming one specific peak called Mount Ararat.

Ararat is associated with a region traditionally identified with ancient Urartu, in the area surrounding parts of modern eastern Turkey, Armenia, and Iran. The biblical wording therefore does not provide a precise geographic coordinate or prove that the vessel rested on the summit of today’s Mount Ararat.

Mount Ararat became the most famous proposed location because of its imposing appearance and later Christian, Jewish, and Islamic traditions. Expeditions and claimed discoveries have repeatedly attracted attention, but no accepted archaeological evidence has verified the Ark’s survival.

A common mix-up is answering “Mount Ararat” as though that exact singular mountain appears in Genesis. The more textually precise answer is “the mountains of Ararat,” the wording used by the biblical account.
