Hormoz Island in Persian Gulf
January 28, 2016 , IRANHormoz is an Iranian island in the Persian Gulf. Located in the Strait of Hormoz, 5 miles off the Iranian coast, the island is part of Hormozgān Province. Hormoz Island has an area of 42 km2 (16 sq mi). It is covered by sedimentary rock and layers of volcanic material on its surface. The highest point of the island is about 186 metres above sea level. Due to a lack of precipitation, the soil and water are salty. Specialists have helped cultivar white mangrove or Hara trees to grow in the climate.
