The Alborz Mountains dominate Tehran's northern skyline, and provide the city with pure water and various sights for skiing and resorts. Mount Damavand, the highest mountain in Iran, is located Northeast of Tehran, and is included in various Iranian and Zoroastrian myths as a symbold of a capturer of evil and resistance to foreign intrusion. Being a dormant volcano, Damavand is still held in awe by nearby villagers, some of whom believe that the giant Zahhak was captured in Damavand.
