Mount Avital and Mount Bental are two of the most notable volcanic sites in the Golan region, forming part of a chain of dormant volcanoes across the plateau. Scientists have identified that these neighboring peaks share an underground magma source, linking them as part of the same volcanic complex. Mount Avital reaches a height of 1,204 meters, while Mount Bental stands at 1,165 meters above sea level. Experts now warn that, despite their long dormancy, these volcanoes could potentially erupt again in the future.
