Though technically the easternmost extension of the Caucasus Mountains, the landscape is only mildly hilly, a gently undulating plain that ends in a long spit of sand dunes known as Shah Dili, and now declared the Absheron National Park. In this part the peninsula is dissected by ravines and characterized by frequent salt lakes.
==Origin of the name==
The etymology is as follows: The word Absheron consists of a few parts. ''Ab'' means ''water'', ''shour'' means ''salty'' and ''an'' is the suffix that makes plural in Persian. So, Abshouran, which came out these words, means "place of salty water". This is also the name of a city in Russia which is called Apsheronsk.
