ARAL DESERT
@MOYNAQ UZBEKISTAN
The Aral Desert, in Central Asia, is a vast arid area that emerged due to the dehydration of the Aral Sea, an ancient salt lake that was one of the largest in the world.
This environmental catastrophe occurred in the 20th century due to massive diversions from the rivers that fed it for agricultural projects in the former Soviet Union.
The region is now covered in salt, toxi-co powder and chemical waste, which has severely affected the climate, biodiversity and health of local communities.
A curious fact is that in the old bed of the Aral Sea, now deserted, you can find abandoned rusty ships, known as "ship cemeteries".
These have become a symbol of environmental disaster and a tourist attraction in places like the city of Moynaq, Uzbekistan.
