Snow-capped Süphan Dagi volcano seen from the International Space Station, with north to the upper left. The flanks of the volcano contain numerous lava domes and cones that erupted along radial and circumferential fissures. The small black lake halfway between the snow line and Lake Van is the 1.5-km-wide Aygirgölü maar; the larger greenish Lake Arin is visible to the east.
