Gandom Beryan black desert lava field

One of surprising destinations in Lut desert is Gandomberyan. The vast black desert is covered with thick layers of black basaltic rocks. It is not only a great fascination in the area but also an important place for geologists and their students. What they try to present in colleges concerning geography and geology, they can tangibly do it here.

The site is miles away from Kaluts at the heart of Lut desert. The route is so beautiful. The tour enjoys the landscape of irankalut. The salty river passing by the black desert is amazing. The tour has to pass the river and then hikes up to reach the top Gandomberyan. In Persian language, the word Gandom means wheat and Beryan means roasting. They combine to make Gandomberyan to signify and emphasize the extreme heat of the region. Therefore, when some one visits Gandomberyan, they have, in fact, visit the hottest spot on the earth, 70.7 degrees centigrade based on NASA Lansat7; the world record!
