Lake Urmia was once one of the largest salt lakes in the world, measuring 90 miles long and about 35 miles wide, making it slightly larger than Great Salt Lake in Utah.
Environmental official Hamid Ranaghadr remembers how just a decade ago, cruise ships filled with tourists jammed the lake’s waters in search of flocks of migrating flamingos.
