Aragats, a dormant stratovolcano in central Armenia, approximately 30 km (19 mi) northwest of Yerevan, Armenia. The youngest lava flows date between the late-Pleistocene and 3000 BCE (Kharakanian et al., 2003). As such, the station is located on solid volcanic rock foundations. Nor-Amberd Station is 2000m a.s.l., just north of Byurakan Village. \r\n\r\nAt the Nor-Amberd Research Station, the average winter temperature is around -3 °C (25 °F), with temperatures occasionally reaching as low as -12 °C (10 °F); during the summer, the average temperature is 15 °C (60 °F), with highs up to 25 °C (80 °F).
