Besh Barmag Mountain

Besh Barmag (Azerbaijani: Beşbarmaq) literally translated as Five Finger, is in Siazan District of Azerbaijan, not far from the Caspian Sea.

It rises to 382 m (1,253 ft) above the sea level overlooking the Baku-Quba Highway.

It is a sacred place for regular visitation by pilgrims.

[1] Tide marks on the mount attest to meltwater inundation from the northern glacial ice caps and date back to the end of the last ice age.

Estimates of the increase in Caspian Sea level height are between + 20 and 30 meters.
