How to spot Iran from satellite imagery
The Zagros form a belt of ridges across western and southwestern Iran. The Alborz rise beside the southern Caspian coast, with dry basins in the interior. The change between the Caspian lowlands and the terrain immediately south is useful regional context.
Compare the southern Caspian shore with the plateau beyond the Alborz. Follow where the mountain belt separates those landscapes.
