Dasht-e Kavir is a large desert in the middle of the Iranian Plateau. Spanning roughly 30,000 square miles (77,600 square kilometers), temperatures in the “Great Salt Desert” can soar up to 122°F (50°C), causing extreme vaporization that turns marshes and mud grounds into swirling crusts of salt, as seen in this segment of the desert here.
