Thousands have climbed its slopes in the past several hundred years. There have been many alleged sightings, accounts, anamolies taken by spy satellites, and testimonies involving its discovery, but real scientific evidence still lacks today.

In September of 2005 I (Jeremy) made my first expedition attempt to scale the slopes of Ararat in search for the Ark. Unfortunately, our five man team was hit by a blizzard at 13,000 feet and forced back down the mountain after 15 hours of 50 + mph high wind and snow. The mountain lives up to its name "the mountain of pain."

In 1988 the Willis expedition made an attempt to search for the ark using ground penetrating radar technology to look under the ice. They surveyed the eastern plateau and the area between the two peaks, concluding there were no remains of the Ark under the ice. In 1989 the Aaron/Garbe/Corbin expedition also scanned the ice using GPR on the western plateau, but was not as successful.

On December 2, 2002 a wood beam was filmed pertruding out from the ice at 13,000 feet at the top of Parrot glacier. It was filmed by Angelo Palego. Watch a short clip of the video. Continue to page 2.
