Nehbandan Miniature Mountains

Iran is the country of wonders; if you plan to see Mars on Earth, the Miniature Mountains of Nehbandan in South Khorasan province will be your best choice. These mountains, which are also known as the Martian Mountains, look like the sharp teeth of a comb or a Sugarloaf from a distance.

What do We Know about the Miniature Mountains of Nehbandan?

These mountains are natural phenomena that can be seen in few places in the world. They resemble the surface of Mars, so they are also called Martian mountains. This geographical phenomenon was created due to the intense and rapid sedimentation of the earth's surface; as a result, soil richness and fertility has diminished, which is why they look like a desert. Another result of this rapid erosion is its sharp and jagged shape; the mountains are mostly red (due to the presence of iron and clay), gray, white (presence of chalk) and yellow. The mountains are 5 meters in the lowest state and 110 meters in the highest state. A similar phenomenon can be seen in Chabahar, Sistan and Baluchistan Province.
