The Durupınar site is a large aggregate structure on Mount Tendürek in eastern Turkey. The site is 3 km north of the Iranian border, 16 km southeast of Doğubeyazıt in the Ağrı Province, and 29 kilometres south of the Greater Mount Ararat summit, at an elevation of 1,966 to 2,004 m above sea level.
The size and shape of the structure has led to its promotion by some believers as the original Noah's Ark, but geologists as well as some creationists argue that it is a natural formation. The site is near several officially-unnamed peaks, though locals call one of the nearby peaks Cudi Dağı in Turkish, and Çîyaye Cûdî in Kurdish, which David Fasold linked to Al-Ǧūdī, the place named in the Quran as the final resting place of Noah's Ark. Some researchers place Mount Judi in another location farther south, near the Turkish/Iraqi border.
