Lut Desert
The Lut Desert is located in the south-east of the country. Every year from June to October, this arid subtropical region is buffeted by strong winds that move sediments and cause large-scale wind erosion. As a result, the site presents some of the most spectacular aeolian yardangs (huge rippled ridges). It also contains large areas of stony desert and dune fields. The property is an exceptional example of ongoing geological processes.
