Description

Once people killed the sea. Now sea is killing people and continues to live.

Image taken in 2021 at the bottom of former Aral Sea. 60 years ago it was the second largest in Central Asia, but Soviet Union's water policy made it dry.

…but in fact, only humanity suffers. Nature is still alive — there appear new plants, birds, insects. Nature is always stronger than people.
