Dasht-e Kavir is a large desert in the middle of the Iranian Plateau. Spanning roughly 30,000 square miles (77,600 square kilometers), the so-called “Great Salt Desert” has recorded temperatures up to 122°F (50°C). This heat causes extreme vaporization that turns marshes and mud grounds into swirling crusts of salt, like those featured in this Overview.—34.797689°, 54.728858°
