WikipediaMount Derock or Deraak (also known as Kuh-eh Barfee or Mother Mount) is a sedimentary rock mountain in Shiraz, Fars, in the Middle East region in Iran. It is located west and northwest of Shiraz, Fars. It is called mother mountain because its shape resembles a pregnant woman lying on her back and the name barfi mountain refers to it usually being white-capped in winter, barf meaning snow in Persian. Geologically, Shiraz is a syncline valley city (NW–SE elongated) that formed between the Baba Kohi and Derak anticlines.
