Sweltering heat in Bandar-e Abbas, a port city in Iran, sends a fisherman’s son into the shallows of the Strait of Hormuz. The Polos may have traveled to this shore to find a boat to take them to China. Wrote Marco in The Description of the World: “Their ships are very bad and many of them are lost because they are not nailed with iron pins.” The Polos chose to turn around and brave a crossing of the Dasht-e Lut, the “desert of emptiness.”
