The Vanishing of Lake Urmia Once a symbol of natural beauty and balance, Lake Urmia — located between the Iranian provinces of East and West Azerbaijan — is now on the brink of ecological collapse. Satellite images reveal that the turquoise waters that once covered over 5,000 square kilometers have retreated, leaving behind a ghostly salt plain and a lifeless horizon.
