Porak is a stratovolcano located in the Vardenis volcanic ridge about 20 km (12 mi) SE of Lake Sevan at the border of Armenia and Azerbaijan. The volcanic field straddles the border, and lava flows extend into both countries. The flanks of the volcano are dotted with 10 satellite cones and fissure vents.
