A unique natural phenomenon was observed on Hormuz Island, located in the Strait of Hormuz in Iran. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
As a result of heavy rain on December 16, the island's shore and shallow sea waters turned red, causing a great stir on social media. The local population explained that rainwater carried iron-rich mineral soils from the slopes down to the sea in the area known as the "Red Beach."
As a result, the sand and water were dyed bright red, creating a very stunning scene. Photos and videos capturing this event spread widely on social media, attracting the attention of thousands of users.
According to experts, this phenomenon is related to the island's unique geological composition. Hormuz Island is famous for its red soil called "golak," which is rich in iron oxide.
During heavy rain, these minerals are washed away by water and spread along the shore and sea. Although some sources have referred to this event as "bloody rain," there is no dangerous or biological factor involved.
Also known as the "Rainbow Island," this island attracts tourists throughout the year with its variously colored soils, rocky shores, and historical monuments. Especially on rainy days, the red beach appears even more mysterious and attractive.
