Mt. Ararat

I got this photo from Wikipedia. They failed to say how much the Space Shuttle mission cost.

Key Facts

The Quake

Mount Ararat (16,940 feet, 5165 m) is the largest volcano in Turkey. Although not currently active, its most recent eruption has
probably been within the last 10,000 years. It is located in extreme northeastern Turkey, near the borders with Iran and Armenia.
Southwest of the main peak lies Little Ararat (12,877 feet, 3896 m). Ahora Gorge is a northeast-trending chasm dropping 6000 ft from
the top of the mountain and was the focus of a major earthquake in 1840. A number of claims by different explorers to have found remnants
of Noah’s Ark on Mt. Ararat have led to continuing expeditions to the mountain, many of which have focused their searches on the gorge area.
Image STS102-344-23 was taken from the Space Shuttle on 18 March 2001 using a 35-mm film camera.
