The Anti-Taurus Mountains (from Turkish: Aladağlar, Greek: Αντίταυρος) are a mountain range in southern and eastern Turkey, curving northeast from the Taurus Mountains.[1] The tallest mountain in the range is Mount Erciyes, 12,851 feet (3,917m) high. The ancient Greek geographer Strabo wrote that in his time the summit was never free from snow, and that those few who ascended it could see both the Black Sea and the Mediterranean.[2]
