Description

In February 1972, Iran was struck by one of the most extreme and deadliest snowstorms in recorded history. Over the course of just a few days, up to 26 feet of snow fell across parts of the country, burying villages, isolating towns, and severing all forms of communication and aid. Entire communities—such as the village of Kakan—were wiped off the map, with no survivors.
