Mountain Of Cilo
Nestled in the rugged mountains of northeastern Turkey near the border with Armenia lies Cilo Mountain. Rising to over 4,116 m (13,504 ft), its remote peaks embrace an alpine climate with heavy winter snowfall. Surrounding Cilo Mountain, dense conifer forests cloaking steep slopes sustain diverse habitats. Glacial streams nourish seasonal wetlands grazed by nomadic livestock during summer months.
