Ecological transformation
What has happened to this like in a matter of years could have taken centuries. Since the lake is so shallow a slight reduction in the volume of water equates to a large reduction in the surface area. The colors are amazing due to the elevated salt concentrations and subsequent life that has spun up. Once a hot spot for locals to come and enjoy, it is more of an ecological site than anything now. A view from above is magical if you get a chance to fly over it.

Lake Urmia
The largest saltwater lake in the Middle East is located in the northwest of our beloved country, Iran, between the provinces of Western Azerbaijan and Eastern Azerbaijan. This lake is the famous Urmia Lake which is one of the most beautiful natural attractions in Iran and the largest lake in Iran. Unfortunately, due to global warming, lack of snow and rain, construction of highways on the lake, excessive use of water resources in the region and factors like this, the water of Lake Urmia has dried up.
