Hormuz Island, a small but surreal landmass in the Persian Gulf, is famous for its blood-red soil, known as Gelack. This eerie coloration comes from iron oxide, which makes up nearly 70% of the island's soil. When rain falls, the water mixes with the crimson earth, creating unsettling streams that look like rivers of blood seeping through the rugged landscape.

But the island' s strangeness doesn't end there. Its mineral-rich terrain shifts in color, from deep reds to haunting purples and blues, giving the land an otherworldly, almost alien feel. Locals have long used the red soil for dyes, paint, and even food, baking it into a traditional "red bread."
