Sabalan years, so Mt. Savalan is one of the important sacred places in Zoroastrianism. Based on nomadic beliefs, when all the snow of Sabalan melts, the end of time will come. Sabalan is a large andesite stratovolcano in Meshgin Shahr (Khiav), in Iranian Azerbaijan in North West Iran. It is the second highest volcano after Mount Damavand. The volcano is quite old. Its first eruptions occurred in the Eocene and later in the Miocene. But the main volcanism happened in the Pliocene and the Pleistocene as some of its rocks have been dated to 5–1.4 million years. Some references state that
Maitland Volcano Level Mountain and the Mount Edziza volcanic complex. Its structure was about long and wide, covering an area of at least . This is similar in size to the Mount Edziza complex approximately west of Maitland Volcano. Like most shields, Maitland consisted of several basaltic lava flows which have low viscosity. This gave the volcano its massive profile and consequently Maitland might have had a broad lava plateau like other large NCVP shields. Like other Northern Cordilleran volcanoes, Maitland Volcano had its origins in continental rifting—a long rupture in the Earth's crust where the lithosphere is being pulled apart. This
