Porak

Porak or Akharbakhar ("gutted belly" in Azerbaijani[1]) is a stratovolcano located in the Vardenis volcanic ridge.

It lies about 20 km (12 mi) southeast of Lake Sevan and the volcanic field spans the border between Armenia and Azerbaijan with lava flows running into both countries.

[1] There are four stages of trachyandesitic lava flows, the oldest composing the Porak volcano itself and the younger three derived from cones and fissures.

[1] Two lava flows overlay Sevan Lake deposits with thin soil cover form an early Holocene stage.

The second stage forms lava flows entering Lake Alaghel and is devoid of soil cover.
