Kani Garavan Mineral Spring (Persian: کانی گراوان), located approximately 12 kilometers northeast of Sardasht in West Azerbaijan Province, Iran, is a unique mineral spring known for its high salinity and natural rock formations. The name "Kani Garavan" translates to "heavy water spring" in the local Kurdish dialect which is Sorani.[1][2]
The spring is situated near the village of Kani Gaviz, within the southeast of the Zab Basin. The water, which emerges from the ground at a boiling temperature, contains a high concentration of dissolved salts, rendering it undrinkable. The mineral-rich water has contributed to the creation of white and colorful mineral deposits, giving the landscape a distinctive and picturesque appearance.
