Aral Sea (Kazakhstan) - Naval Cemetery

The naval cemetery is located on the ground of a former bay of the Aral Sea, some 60 km away from Aral town next to a village called Dzhambul (sometimes referred to as "Zhalanash"). The area is now mainly populated by camels, although the Aral Sea is slowly recovering. The coast line is only some 5 or 10 kilometers behind the naval cemetery, easily accessible by 4WD (like the cementery itself).

Hi, I'm an admin for a group called aaarrrggghhh..., and we'd love to have your photo added to the group.

An ecological disaster due to Stalin playing "God" and diverting the rivers to irrigate the cotton fields instead of allowing them to run their natural course and flow into the Aral Sea. Now the Aral Sea has shrunk to a fraction of its original area.
