Iran

Iran's topography is diverse and dominated by rugged mountain ranges, which define much of its landscape. To the west, the Zagros Mountains stretch from the northwest to the southeast, with many peaks surpassing 10,000 feet in elevation. These mountains form a rugged barrier between Iran's central plateau and the more fertile regions of the southwest. Further to the north, the Alborz Mountains flank the Caspian Sea, where Iran's highest peak, Mount Damavand (18,606 feet), is located. This mountainous terrain gives way to vast basins and desert plains, particularly in the central and eastern regions of the country. The Dasht-e Kavir and Dasht-e Lut, two prominent salt deserts, cover large areas and experience extreme temperatures and minimal rainfall. In contrast, the coastal regions along the Caspian Sea and Persian Gulf feature small, discontinuous plains. These varied landscapes create a dramatic and dynamic environment, affecting everything from climate to human settlement.
