Mount Derak

Mount Derock or Deraak (also known as Kuh-eh Barfee[1] or Mother Mount) is a sedimentary rock mountain in Shiraz, Fars, in the Middle East region in Iran.

It is located west[2] and northwest of Shiraz, Fars.

It is called mother mountain because its shape resembles a pregnant woman lying on her back and the name barfi mountain refers to it usually being white-capped in winter, barf meaning snow in Persian.

[3] Geologically, Shiraz is a syncline valley city (NW–SE elongated) that formed between the Baba Kohi and Derak anticlines.
