Tashkooh
31°16′40.76″N 49°48′30.88″E Tashkooh (Persian: تشکوه) or Firing Mount, is a mountain near the Ramhormoz, Iran.
Tashkooh which also named Atashkooh (in Persian means Fire Mount), is known for its permanent flames. This mount is always firing, because of the sulfur vapors rising from the porous layer of mountain surface and firing affected by the sublimation and nebulization.
Tashkooh is near the pair of villages called Mamatin, between Ramhormoz and Izeh.
