Northeastern Iran has been hit by a severe earthquake with a magnitude of 6.1. The epicenter was about 80 kilometers southeast of Mashhad, Iran's second city.
According to Iranian media, two people died and eleven people were injured. One of the dead was buried under falling debris near the city Fariman.
The earthquake was relatively close to the surface location. therefore it is more likely that there is a lot of damage. There are rescue teams and helicopters sent to the affected area.
Telephone lines were damaged by the earthquake, making contact with the affected area difficult. The extent of the damage has therefore remained unclear.
Mashhad (Persian: مشهد ; About this sound listen (help·info)) is the second most populous city in Iran and capital of Razavi Khorasan Province. It is located in the northeast of the country, close to the borders of Turkmenistan and Afghanistan. Its population was 2,749,374 at the 2011 census and its built-up (or metro) area was home to 2,782,976 inhabitants including Mashhad Taman and Torqabeh cities.[3] It was a major oasis along the ancient Silk Road connecting with Merv in the East.
The city is most famous and revered for housing the tomb of Imam Reza, the eighth Shia Imam. Every year, millions of pilgrims visit the Imam Reza shrine and pay their tributes to Imam Reza. The Abbasid caliph Harun al-Rashid is also buried within the shrine. Mashhad has experienced the rise and fall of many governments over the course of history. Many Arab, Turkish, and especially Mongolian and Afghan tribes have brought great changes in the language, ethnicity and culture of the people each in their own time. Surprisingly, Mashhad enjoyed relative prosperity in its economy in the Mongol period. Mashhad is mistakenly known as the city of Ferdowsi, the Iranian poet of Shahnameh, which is considered to be the national epic of Iran. The city is the hometown of some of the most significant Iranian literary figures and artists such as Mehdi Akhavan-Sales, the famous contemporary poet, and Mohammad-Reza Shajarian, the traditional Iranian singer and composer. Ferdowsi and Akhavan Sales are both buried in Tus, an ancient city that is considered to be the main origin of the current city of Mashhad. On 30 October 2009 (the anniversary of the death of Imam Reza), Iran's then-President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad declared Mashhad as Iran's spiritual capital.[4][5]

North Korea's sacred Mount Paektu | Asia Senses Travel
One of the most stunning sights on the Korean Peninsula, Paekdusan (Mt Paekdu) straddles the Chinese - Korean border in the far northeastern tip of the DPRK. Apart from it being the highest mountain in the country at 2744m, and an amazing geological phenomenon (it’s an extinct volcano now containing a crater lake at its centre), it is also of huge mythical importance to the Korean people. Koreans consider Mount Paektu as the place of their ancestral origin and as a sacred mountain, one of the three spirited mountains (Jirisan, Hallasan and Paektusan); the one contained in the legendary foundation of Korea.
The huge crater lake called Chon (Lake of Heaven) lies at the summit, surrounded by bare rocky crags. It is the deepest crater lake in the world, and also one of the coldest. The Lake Chon is the source of the two longest Korean rivers - Amnok (803 km) and Tumen (521 km) which serve as Sino-Korean border almost over its entire length.
