Armenia’s landscape is defined by dramatic geological formations and ancient historical sites. This collection features the 70-meter Jermuk Waterfall and the 18-meter Shaki Waterfall. It includes significant peaks such as the extinct volcano Azhdahak and Mount Khustup. Cultural history is represented by the Areni-1 cave, a Chalcolithic ritual site, and 'Vishapakar' dragon stones. The list also covers Lake Sevan, the largest alpine lake in the Caucasus, and several panoramic viewpoints overlooking the Vorotan River gorge and the volcanic pinnacles of Goris.
