The Ukhtasar mount “Pilgrim Mountain” located near the town of Sisian southern province of Syunik. Near the mountain a small glacier lake nestled in a rim of an extinct volcano. The lake can have ice floes year-round and patches of snow in the area never completely melt. The Ukhtasar Petroglyphs are found on stones that surround the lake. A petroglyph is an image created by removing part of a rock surface by carving. On the rock fragments depict hunting scenes, a wide array of animals, spirals, circles and geometric shapes, and even zodiac signs.

The number and development of the carvings suggest this field was used over thousands of years, beginning in the Paleolithic era. People from later eras continued to record their prowess and beliefs on the stones.
