Iran-Dried Lake Of Urmia

Salts are accumulating on the southern side of Lake Urmia, which has not yet dried up, in West Azerbaijan Province, approximately 604 kilometers (375 miles) northwest of Tehran, Iran, on January 14, 2014. Lake Urmia, once the largest lake in the Middle East and the sixth-largest saltwater lake on Earth, remains a majestic expanse of salt and water, situated between the East and West Azerbaijan provinces in northwestern Iran. This endorheic salt lake holds a unique place in the region's natural heritage. (Photo by Morteza Nikoubazl/NurPhoto)
