A few years ago, the bay of Nouadhibou on the Mauritanian coast became one of the world's largest graveyards for fishing vessels, with over 100 wrecks breaking apart in the wild Atlantic seas. Unscrupulous shipowners, looking to avoid costly disposal fees, abandoned their old vessels here, leaving them to rot in the water. Meanwhile, in Kazakhstan, an even stranger ship graveyard has formed—right in the middle of a desert. Once part of the vast Aral Sea, now only sand surrounds the rusting ships. The Aral Sea, once one of the world’s largest inland bodies of water, was drained by intensive cotton farming, leaving behind salt-saturated waters where fish perished in masses. Eventually, the fishermen themselves were left stranded as their ships ran aground on the desert floor. Explore the environmental devastation behind these eerie ship graveyards and the human impact left in their wake.
