North-east of Qom, Hoz-e Soltan is a seasonal expanse of shallow water, salt and open horizon. Rainfall reshapes its extent, and when a thin layer of water covers the salt crust, the sky is reflected like a mirror. Marshy areas should be approached only by safe routes and with informed local guidance.
