15.yüzyılda başlayan gerçek keşif yolculukları 19.yüzyıl emperyalizm çağında yerini “araştırma keşif gezilerine” bırakmıştır. Emperyalist bir bakış açısıyla büyük ölçekli keşif gezileri düzenleyen devletler arasında Rusya da büyük ölçüde yer almıştır. Ruslar, Asya’nın çeşitli bölgelerine düzenledikleri keşif gezilerinin bir benzerini de Ağrı Dağı’na düzenlemişlerdir. Araştırma gezileri sırasında yaptığı “dağlık alan” çalışmalarıyla dikkat çeken Alman doğa bilimci ve gezgin Friedrich Parrot; Rusya’nın Ağrı Dağı’na düzenledikleri bu keşif gezisinin öncülüğünü yapmıştır. 1829’un Mart ayının sonlarında Dorpat’ta keşif yolculuğuna başlayan Parrot, Eylül ayının başlarında Erivan’a varmıştır. Buradan Ağrı Dağı’na geçen Parrot’un, ilk iki zirve tırmanış denemesi başarısızlıkla sonuçlanmış, ancak, Parrot üçüncü denemesinde Ağrı Dağı zirvesine (27 Eylül 1829) tırmanabilmiştir. Parrot, Ağrı Dağı zirvesine tırmandıktan sonra Doğubayazıt’a geçmiş ve Iğdır Ovası çevresinde birçok yeri gezmiştir. Coğrafi gözlemleri ve keşif gezi notlarını 1834 yılında Almanya’da Reise zum Ararat adlı kitapta toplayan Parrot, bu kitapta Ağrı Dağı’nın fiziki coğrafi özelliklerinin (flora, fauna, jeomorfolojik özellikleri vb.) yanı sıra bölgenin kültürel yaşam tarzlarına ve geçim kaynaklarına yönelik canlı ayrıntılara da yer vermiştir. Parrot’un Rus destekli keşif gezisi, özellikle bilim insanların, seyyahlar ve misyonerler arasında ilgi uyandırmıştır. Parrot’tan sonra Ağrı Dağı’na 20.yüzyılın başlarına kadar sayısız ziyaretler gerçekleştirilmiş ve bölgeyi konu alan çok sayıda yayın yapılmıştır
The true expeditions that began during the 15th century were replaced by "research expeditions" in the era of 19th century imperialism. During this time, Russia was one of the countries that launched large-scale expeditions with an imperialistic perspective. The Russians led an expedition to Mount Ararat similar to their expeditions to various other regions throughout Asia. Chosen thanks to his "mountainous terrain" studies during previous research expeditions, Friedrich Parrot, a German naturalist and explorer, pioneered this Russian expedition to Mount Ararat. Having started his expedition from Dorpat (present day Tartu), in late March of 1829 Parrot arrived in Yerevan in early September and from here, he headed towards Mount Ararat. Parrot's first two climb attempts ended in failure. However, on his third attempt on September 27th, 1829, he successfully completed the climb. After reaching the summit of Mount Ararat, he went on to East and visited many locations around Iğdır Plain. Recording his geographical observations and expedition notes in his book, Reise zum Ararat, in Germany in 1834, he provided the physical geographical features of Mount Ararat as well as lively accounts of cultural lifestyles and means of existence in the region. Parrot’s Russian-supported expedition

Parrot’s Russian-supported expedition particularly attracted the attention of scientists, explorers, and missionaries. Numerous visits to Mount Ararat followed until the early 20th century and a number of publications regarding the region appeared
