The Aral Sea

At the start of the 20th century, the world’s third-largest lake was located in Central Asia. It had been known to the people of the Asian steppes for thousands of years.  However, by the end of the 20th century, the lake had all but disappeared.  Somehow, over the course of a century, one of the world’s largest bodies of fresh water had all but vanished, stranding the many ships which once sailed the lake. Learn more about the Aral Sea and how it disappeared on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
