Viral video circulating online shows how heavy rain recently turned an island’s landscape blood-red.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Hormuz Island<\/a> off Iran in the Persian Gulf turned a deep crimson, dramatic footage shows, after a downpour which had washed over the Middle Eastern island\u2019s aptly named Red Beach.<\/p>\n

The rainwater is said to have mixed with mineral-rich sediment<\/a> and seawater, creating a vivid, blood-red scene.<\/p>\n

Hormuz Island was turned red by the heavy rainfall on Dec. 16, which is a result of its iron oxide-rich soil, according to reports<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In a clip shared on Instagram<\/a>, the heavy downpour is seen mixing with the deeply colored earth, bringing deep red sediment downhill and into the ocean.<\/p>\n

“Hormuz Island is mostly formed of red soil and salt rock,” according to a study by Science Direct<\/a>, where researchers looked into heavy metal content in the region’s soil.<\/p>\n

“The red soil originates its color from a mixture of hematite and iron hydroxides, but the amount of hematite dominates over iron hydroxides,” the journal wrote.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Hormuz Island is a small key in the Strait of Hormuz off Iran\u2019s southern coast, and is also home to a few thousand residents.<\/p>\n

It’s also known locally as “Rainbow Island” because of its multicolored soils and rock formations.<\/p>\n

Reports of the red rain had sparked comparisons to “blood rain<\/a>” described in ancient texts, but scientists say it’s all completely natural.<\/p>\n

“The island is a salt dome, a teardrop-shaped mound of rock salt, gypsum, anhydrite and other evaporites that has risen upward through overlying layers of rock,” researchers from Nasa\u2019s Earth Observatory<\/a> explained.<\/p>\n

“Rock salt or halite is weak and buoyant, so it loses its brittleness and flows more like a liquid when under high pressure,” they added.<\/p>\n

The striking color is also said to come from iron-oxide\u2013rich soil, locally called “golak”, that covers much of Hormuz\u2019s surface.<\/p>\n

When heavy rain hits the island\u2019s hills and cliffs, water mixes with this mineral-rich earth, carrying fine red particles into creeks, rivers<\/a> and eventually into the Persian Gulf.<\/p>\n

As the iron oxide<\/a> becomes suspended in the water, it absorbs shorter wavelengths of light and reflects longer red wavelengths<\/a>, giving the runoff and coastal waters a crimson color.<\/p>\n

Researchers also said that “blood rain” events happen when rain or runoff<\/a> contains dust, mineral-rich soil or algae.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
