Damavand Frozen Animals

While entering the Damavand summit, where you can see some signs which represents the peak, you can see the corpse of two mammals. They seem to be mummies, and the reason that they are in good condition must be the cold weather and the sulfur. The exact cause of the creation of this corpse is not clear, but they’ve laid there for over 20 years. They must have been part of a pack. They are dead because of the poisoning of sulfur gas of the cold weather. In the past years, some people have destructed this remains. They believed that some animal remains should not present the mountain. But the point is that Damavand is an individual monument and these corpses were just a sign.
