What are these?

They are the Zagros Mountains. Fascinating to look at, colors and strange protruding shapes. Folks you are actually looking at salt. Yes, these are salt deposits in the shape of huge domes. Scripture declares salt to be a sanctifying ledger. A sanctifying ledger? Yes. "Do you not know that יהוה the Elohim of Israel gave the rule over Israel forever to Dawid and his sons by a covenant of SALT?"
