Lut Desert
The Lut Desert, or Dasht-e-Lut, is located in the south-east of the country. Between June and October, this arid subtropical area is swept by strong winds, which transport sediment and cause aeolian erosion on a colossal scale. Consequently, the site presents some of the most spectacular examples of aeolian yardang landforms (massive corrugated ridges). It also contains extensive stony deserts and dune fields. The property represents an exceptional example of ongoing geological processes.
卢特沙漠
又名Dasht-e-Lut，位于伊朗东南部。在六月至十月间，这一亚热带潮湿地区经常有大风，使沉积物输送堆积，造就了大范围的风蚀景观，呈现出极为壮观的风蚀雅丹地貌（大规模起伏的垄脊），还有广袤的石漠和沙丘。这处遗产地代表了一种典型地质过程。
