I first learned of the famous Salt Desert of Iran when I was a student 15 years ago, so when I realised that my flight flew directly over this spectacular landscape I booked a window seat and hoped for a clear day. I was not disappointed. From the air the Dasht-e Kavir is a mesmerising landscape of parallel and concentric lines from the erosion of salt domes, on the ground it’s one driest and most inhospitable places on earth. #BBC #EarthOnLocation #Iran #Salt #Aerial #Plane #Geology #Landscape

I was flying home over Iran. Just north of the city of Semnan, I looked out of the plane window and saw the first signs of snow. It continued North and across most of Europe, but sadly didn't stretch as far as the UK. #BBCEarth #BBC #EarthOnLocation #Iran #Snow #Plane #Aerial #Mountains #Winter #Weather
