Tashkooh (Persian: تشکوه), which literally means "fire mountain" and is commonly translated as Mount Fire [1] or Fiery Mount,[2] is the name of a perpetually-burning hillside located northeast of the city of Ramhormoz in Khuzestan province, in the southwest of Iran. The seeping of hydrocarbon gas through small fissures in the ground fuels the patchwork of perpetual flames clustered along the hillside.
