![]() ![]() Like a paradox, the Shur River flows through the desert, which does not dry out even in dry years. The absolute maximum temperature on Earth was recorded in the Dasht-e Lut desert in 2005 (70.7 ☌). The desert fills a low basin that stretches southward from the Khorasan province into the Kerman province. Physical weathering has created numerous "pillars", "mushrooms" and similar forms. Roughly 480 by 320 kilometers (300 by 200 miles), Dasht-e Lut is a large salt desert in southeastern Iran. In the south, at the eastern foot of the Kuhbenan ridge, within the desert, there is a drainless saline depression Nemekzar, in the lower part of which, during the flood of rivers, a shallow lake is formed in spring. Significant areas of the desert are occupied by takyrs, as well as solonchaks, in the south of the desert there are vast massifs of sand. From one oasis to another, you will be able to encounter rare shrubs, the most tenacious grasses in the plant world! The eastern part raises a plateau covered with salt marshes. There is a running water at the bottom of the well, and those who dig the well have built narrow tunnels to reach the source of this water. Each of these wells is about 50 meters deep and wide enough for a person to pass through. There are hundreds of water wells dug by the local people 2000 years ago in the Lut Desert. In the arid desert of Lut, another phenomenon as unique as it is paradoxical attracts all visitors who pass through it: the presence of water points. ![]() You will contemplate a series of parallel ridges and furrows extending over more than 150 km in length and 75 meters in height! As a result, the area presents bewildering examples of relief. Between June and October, powerful winds sweep across it, carrying sediment and causing wind erosion on a prodigious scale. In this respect, the Lut Desert is accepted as a non-living region.Ī truly extraordinary site, the Lut desert or Dasht-e-Lut is understood as the cradle of spectacular phenomena. In deserts near the tropics, most of the precipitation falls on the mountainous regions. Longitudinally prominent spots on the map (parallel to the mountain range) are dried desert lakes that cover up to 300 kilometers to the south. The southeast is a vast expanse of sand, like a Saharan erg, with dunes 300 metres (980 ft) high, among the tallest in the world.Iran is a part of the Afro-Asiatic desert belt that starts from Cape Verde Islands in West Africa and extends through Mongolia to the Chinese capital Beijing. This area is also riddled with ravines and sinkholes. In contrast, the center has been sculpted by the wind into a series of parallel ridges and furrows, extending over 150 km (93 mi) and reaching 75 metres (246 ft) in height. The eastern part of Dasht-e Loot is a low plateau covered with salt flats. Due to the hot sun and strong winds, heavy masses of sand move to the south and the southeast, forming a chain of sandy hillocks. The eastern half of the plain is covered by moving sands, but a part of its southern sector is penetrable. To the west of this plain, is another area of wilderness called Namakzar, which is impenetrable in the rainy seasons. New research on Earths most extreme surface temperatures has found it is much worse to set foot in Irans Lut Desert (Dasht-e Lut) and North Americas Sonoran Desert. This plain is one of the hottest and driest in the world with a minimum trace of water. The plain of Loot (Loot Desert or Dasht-e Lut) is the largest hollow or pit in the plateau of Iran and a part of which is located between Kerman and Sistan Va Baluchestan Provinces.
