## Caption

Rainfall this week briefly transformed the coastline of Iran’s Hormuz Island, as runoff washed iron-rich soil into the sea and turned the water shades of deep red. ⁣
⁣
The island’s Red Beach is known for its vivid sand and cliffs, created by high concentrations of iron oxide. ⁣
⁣
When rain falls, streams of red soil flow toward the shore, creating a striking contrast with the blue waters of the Persian Gulf. The rare phenomenon regularly draws tourists, photographers, and social media attention to the island.⁣
