Mount Ararat in Turkey is where, as biblical tradition has it, Noah's Ark ran aground and God made his covenant with mankind. This title takes you on a pilgrimage from the mountain's foot to its highest slopes, introducing along the way geologists, priests and an expedition in search of the Ark's remains.
