Mount Lalehzar is a mountain that is located near the town of Lalehzar about 40 kilometres north-east of the city of Baft in Kerman Province.[1] With an elevation of 4351 metres, this mountain is among of the highest peaks of Iran. Made chiefly of Eocene andesite and pyroclastic rocks, Mount Lalehzar is situated in a central Iranian range, Sahand-Bazman volcanic range or belt, a mountain range which was formed mainly during Eocene volcanism and that stretches approximately from Sahand Volcano in the north-west of Iran to Bazman Volcano in the south-east of Iran.[2]
