Lake Urmia, also known as the Salt Lake, is the largest lake in Iran. The lake is renowned for its high salt concentration, which makes it an attraction for visitors who enjoy floating on the water surface. The lake has several alternative names derived from the surrounding areas, including Lake Rezaiyeh and Lake Kabudan. Additionally, locals often refer to the lake as the Pink Lake due to the presence of a species of bacteria that gives the water a pink tint. Other synonyms for Lake Urmia include Lake Ormia, Lake Ooromieh, and Lake Urmieh. Despite its shrinking size, the lake remains a significant natural and cultural landmark in Iran.
