The 5,670 متر height given here is from the Statistical Centre of Iran, which states that "the highest point in Iran is Mount Damāvand being 5,610 metres high". This elevation is consistent with SRTM data. A 2007 نظام التموضع العالمي measurement [1] reports a slightly higher elevations, 5623m, but also reports -17m for the nearby بحر قزوين despite its accepted -28m. This suggests that there is slight local مجسم أرضي inaccuracy built into hand held GPS measurements in this area, and that the official Iranian elevation is accurate. An older elevation, 5,671 m, is not consistent with the above sources and there is no evidence that it is based on any modern measurement, although it is still the most frequently given elevation on the web. نسخة محفوظة 19 أغسطس 2017 على موقع واي باك مشين.
