The region of Gandom Beryan, also known as burned sand, is a mesa covered with basaltic magma in the northeast of Kerman, situated in the heart of the Lut Desert. This area has always been recognized for its high temperatures. In this study, we utilized thermal remote sensing and field studies to measure the surface temperature of the Gandom Beryan region through both direct and indirect estimation methods, along with exclamation methods. The mountains surrounding Lut in all directions limit the permeation of TIR images (photographed at 10 A.M. on Wednesday, October 7, 2010) and field measurements of sea humidity from the Hend Ocean, contributing to increased dryness and decreased surface absorption of basaltic rocks in the region. These factors have led to extremely high temperatures, cloudiness, and prolonged sunlight hours. Generally, the desert's location, low latitude, low altitude, and the specific characteristics of the Gandom Beryan surface contribute to these conditions. After considering daily and monthly corrections, the final measured temperature reached a peak of at least 76°C, making Gandom Beryan basaltic mesa a potential hot pole of the Earth based on conducted reviews. The temperature distribution on basaltic rocks is influenced by factors such as erosion and the fragmentation of rocks on the surface of Gandom Beryan. Consequently, the measured surface temperature in the southern section of Gandom Beryan, which is covered by dark, homogeneous basaltic rocks, exhibits higher heat reflection than the northern section. Therefore, a comparison between the generated photoluminescent factor and the isotherm map of this region indicates that areas with high breakage intensity have lower surface temperatures than their peripheries.
