Stars valley is known as one of the most beautiful geological manifestations in Qeshm Island
Stars valley is known as one of the most beautiful geological manifestations in Qeshm Island. It has been created in Berkeh Khalaf Village gradually and through erosion. This badlands area was carved out by wind and rain, approximately 2 million years ago. In places, the canyon is 50 ft (15 m) below the surface of the plateau it has eroded from and is adorned with oddly shaped arches, columns and passageways. It's name seems to be derived from the legend that it was formed from a falling star (meteor). People of the "Stars Valley" believe that once a huge star fell on their village (in the corner of Qeshm island, located in south of Iran) and made strange design of soil and stone and a shape there remained forever.
