Tourists on Iran’s Hormuz Island witnessed a rare phenomenon as heavy rain turned the Silver and Red Beach blood red. The spectacle, caused by the island’s iron oxide-rich volcanic soil mixing with seawater, created vivid red waves. Footage shared on Instagram amassed 29 million likes, with users calling it "incredibly beautiful." The soil, known locally as "Golgohar," is used in industries, cosmetics, and even food. The Iran Tourism and Touring Organisation highlights its significance in local culture. Scientists say such events are natural but rare, attracting curious visitors worldwide.
