INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
World Heritage said on Sunday.Seven years of satellite temperature data analyzed by NASA showed in 2005 that the Lut Desert was the hottest
results will be announced by Friday, she added.As mentioned by the UN cultural body, the desert is situated in an interior basin surrounded
by mountains, so it is in a rain shadow and, coupled with high temperatures, the climate is hyper-arid
A steep north-south pressure gradient develops across the region in spring and summer causing strong winds to blow across the area between
aeolian erosion on a colossal scale
The Lut Desert displays a wide variety of forms, including linear-, compound crescentic-, star-, and funnel-shaped dunes
Some visitors to Lut say it feels almost like walking across a seabed without water
Moreover, those who set up camps are well rewarded when the sun sets to prepare the ground for a very bright moon and extremely vivid stars
to show off in the absolutely clear sky of the desert.AFM
