Asics

Kunlun Mountains

Over 70 volcanic cones form the Kunlun Volcanic Group, but they are not volcanic mountains. As such, they are not counted among the world volcanic mountain peaks. The group, however, musters the heights of 5,808 metres (19,055 ft) above sea level. If they were considered volcanic mountains, they would constitute the highest volcano in Asia and China and second highest in the Eastern Hemisphere (after Mount Kilimanjaro) and one of Volcanic Seven Summits by elevation. But still - mount Damavand is the highest volcano in Asia, not the Kunlun cones. The last known eruption in the volcanic group was on May 27, 1951.
