A mysterious natural event recently happened in Iran that has amazed people all over the world. People are curious and maybe a little scared after watching videos of a beach turning bright red after heavy rain. Some are calling it “blood rain,” while others are just amazed by the rare sight.
A video shared on Instagram by a tour guide shows rainwater washing red dirt from the land onto the beach. This creates a stunning and strange effect. The water turns bright red as the soil mixes with the sea.
The caption on the video in Persian roughly translates to, “The start of the heavy rain of the famous Red Beach of Hormoz. Serasima tourists seeing this rain is amazing.”
Have a look the post:
The beach on Rainbow Island in the Strait of Hormuz is a well-known spot for tourists in Iran because of its natural red soil, which is rich in iron and other minerals.
The strange but special ‘blood red’ effect happens all year on this beach. It is caused by the high amount of iron in the volcanic soil. When the tide is high, these minerals mix with the water, turning the shoreline bright red. It looks as if someone poured a large bucket of red paint into the sea.
This amazing sight is not something to worry about. Instead, it attracts travelers from all over the world who want to see Iran’s “blood rain” beach for themselves.
