Are they lost ?

Post by kombizz »

This is an image of small part of Kavir (desert) in Iran. This part of kavir is attached to few villages. One of them is Mesr.

Mesr is a small rural area where people are farmers and fight with the expansion of desert everyday for their own survival.

The vast deserts of Iran stretch across the plateau from the north-west, close to Tehran and Qom, for a distance of about 400 miles to the south-east and beyond the frontier. Approximately one-sixth of the total area of Iran is barren desert.

The two largest desert areas are known as the Kavir-e-Lut and the Dasht-e-Kavir. Third in size of these deserts is the Jazmurian. It is often said that the Kavir-e-Lut and Dasht-e-Kavir are impossible to cross except by the single road which runs from Yazd to Ferdows, but in recent years, heavy trucks and other vehicles have travelled over long stretches of these deserts which contain extensive mineral deposits -chlorides, sulphates and carbonates.

Here bunch of city young people tried to experience the feeling of Kavir by walking among those lovely curvy sand dunes, without wearing any proper desert gears!
