About this work
In Iran, near the southwest shore of the Caspian Sea, folded sedimentary rocks are part of the Greater Caucasus Mountain Belt. In false color infrared, the blue colored rocks are white sediments, greenish-toned rocks are redbeds. The vegetated river channel is bright red. The black line going across the image from east to west is Iran Highway 2 that starts in Teheran and ends in Tabriz.
