text:
A yakhchāl is an ancient type of ice house, which also made ice. They are primarily found in the Dasht-e Lut and Dasht-e-Kavir deserts, whose climates range from cold (BWk) to hot (BWh) desert regions. In present-day Iran, Afghanistan, and Tajikistan, the term yakhchāl is also used to refer to modern refrigerators. The structure typically had a domed shape above ground, a subterranean storage space, shade walls, and ice pools. It was often used to store ice, but sometimes was used to store food
