The ancient Persians were an Indo-Iranian people who migrated to the Iranian plateau during the end of the second millennium B.C. They got their ice from snow. Iran has a diverse climate. In the northwest, winters are cold with heavy snowfalls and sub-freezing temperatures.

At 46 seconds it is stated the Persians were storing ice in their yakhchals in 400 BCE. Where and how did they get ice at those latitudes?
