EDITORS COMMENTS
Nestled in the majestic mountains of Iran, this evocative photograph captures the historic moment of a temporary camp during the early 1920s. The site, known as the Golden Stairs, is located en route to Gach Qaranguli, a scenic hillside in the Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad Province. The area holds significant historical value, as it was the site of oil exploration works undertaken by British Petroleum, a pioneering industry leader in the field of petroleum discovery. The rugged terrain of the mountains is dotted with tents, as explorers and workers set up camp to prospect for oil. The golden hue of the landscape is accentuated by the sun's rays filtering through the valley, casting a warm glow over the scene. The stairs carved into the hillside, known as the Golden Stairs, lead up to Gach Qaranguli, a location that is believed to be close to the city of Gachsaran. This city is renowned for its vast gas reserves, making it a valuable discovery in Iran's rich oil and gas industry history. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the challenging yet exciting world of oil exploration during the early 20th century. The rugged terrain, the tents, and the industrious workers all contribute to a scene that is both historical and captivating, making it a must-see for anyone interested in the history of oil exploration and the natural beauty of Iran's mountainous regions.
