Camp in the Mountains of Iran
A temporary camp in the mountains of Iran, close to oil exploration works undertaken in the early 1920s by British Petroleum. The site is labelled as the Golden Stairs en route to Gach Qaranguli, which is likely to be close to Gachsaran, a city in the Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad Province in southwestern Iran. The city boasts the largest gas reserves in Iran
