Dasht-e Kavir A journey into the Great Salt Desert of Iran.| Explained in Urdu | InsightFulLensTv


Description

Dasht e Kavir or the Kavir Desert, also known as Kavir e Namak or the Great Salt Desert, is a large desert lying in the middle of the Iranian Plateau. It is about 800 kilometres (500 mi) long by 320 kilometres (200 mi) wide with a total surface area of about 77,600 km2 (30,000 sq mi), making it the world's 24th largest desert. The desert stretches from the Alborz mountain range in the north west to the Dasht-e Lut in the south east. It is spread across the Iranian provinces of Khorasan, Semnan, Tehran, Isfahan and Yazd.

In the center of the desert lies the salt marshes of Kavir Buzurg (Great Kavir), which is about 320 km (200 mi) long and 160 km (99 mi) wide. In the western part of the desert lies the Daryahcheh-e Namak ("salt lake"), 1,800 km2 (690 sq mi). It contains some large salt plates in a mosaic-like shape. It is part of a 4,000 km2 (1,500 sq mi) protected ecological zone, the Kavir National Park.

Vegetation in the Dasht e Kavir is adapted to the hot and arid climate as well as to the saline soil in which it is rooted.

Persian gazelles live in parts of steppe and desert areas of the central plateau. Wild sheep (Ovis orientalis), camels, wild goats (Capra aegagrus) and Persian leopards are common in mountainous areas. Night life brings on wild cats, wolves, foxes, and other carnivores.
