The lake is a remnant of the Paratethys sea, which started to dry from the Pleistocene epoch, leaving Lake Urmia and the Caspian Sea and other bodies of water. The lake has a surface area of about 1,800 km2, but most of this is dry. Water only covers 1 km2. The lake only reaches a depth between 45 centimeters to 1 meter.

Namak Lake is one of the most beautiful and unique places in Iran. It is a salt lake located in the central desert region of the country. The lake is known for its stunning scenery, including its vast white salt flats, clear sky and endless horizon. The surrounding area of the Lake is semi-desert mainly rock with sand. Moreover vegetation cover is sparse, and foothills and wide valleys are characterized by forest-steppe.

The lake is surrounded by a barren desert landscape, but the lake itself is a shimmering oasis of blue and white. The water is so salty that it reflects the sunlight like a mirror, creating a dazzling effect. The salt crystals that form on the shores of the lake are also a beautiful sight, and they come in a variety of colors, including white, pink, and purple.

Namak Lake is a beautiful and unique place that is worth visiting if you are ever in Iran. The best time to visit the lake is during the spring and fall, when the weather is mild and the birds are present.
