A stunningly natural phenomenon that has occurred in Iran recently fascinated and stunned people worldwide. Viewers are curious and maybe a little scared after seeing videos of a beach -bright brilliant red after a downpour. Many refer to it as “blood rain”, while others are simply under the spell of the unusual face.
A video shared on Instagram by a guide shows rainwater that drives red dirty from the land on the beach. A stunning and surrealistic effect is created. The water becomes a lively scarlet while the soil mixes with the sea.
The caption on the video in Persian translates roughly to: “The beginning of the heavy rain of the famous red beach of Hormoz. Serasima tourists see this rain is great.”
Multiple viral videos of the phenomenon led to a wide range of reactions on social media, where users express their thoughts about the amazing face. A user wrote: “I wish I was there in the rain of Hormoz and the beautiful land colored with love.”
Another added: “This scene is really great and special.”
“Glory be she to God. What a beauty. Indeed, God is the best painter of both worlds,” read a comment.
The beach, on Rainbow Island in the Strait of Hormuz, is a popular tourist destination in Iran because of its natural red land, which contains a lot of iron and other minerals.
The bizarre but unique 'blood -red' phenomenon is an attraction on the coast throughout the year, caused by the high iron oxide content in the volcanic soil. These minerals combine with the heavy tide to give the coastline a bright red color, which looks like someone has dumped a large bucket of red paint in the sea.
This amazing face is far from a reason for alarm, attracts travelers from all over the world to see Iran's “Blood Rain” beach for itself.
