Khor Salt Lake, Isfahan province, Iran - دریاچه نمک خور و بیابانک

At the eastern end of Isfahan province and between Khur and Biabanak city and Tabas, a stunning view of one of the largest salt lakes in Iran can be seen. This vast lake starts about 30 km after the estuary and the desert and covers the entire road to the horizon. The white color of salt in contrast to the blackness of the soil in places with less salt has created a beautiful image. You do not need to get away from the main road to see the lake. You can get out of the car and explore the lake anywhere you want. However, more caution is required during rainy season due to loosening of the soil and salt of the lake. In parts of the lake, the phenomenon of salt octagon formation is most beautifully seen. Neat octagons that extend to the horizon and can hold beautiful photos. In a part of the lake, there is a salt mine for extraction and it shows the acceptable quality of mineral salt in this lake. This mine was created to extract potash, which is a valuable mineral. For this purpose, large ponds have been created along the lake to evaporate salt. Read more: persiaplanet.com/khor-salt-lake-khur/
