  1. DID YOU KNOW there’s a hot spring on the floor of the dead Aral Sea?

    Near Akespe, Kazakhstan, the ex-underwater geothermal spring now bubbles up where the sea once covered everything.

    The Aral Sea vanished, but the spring kept going.

    One of the weirdest stops on our Kazakhstan Silk Road route—and yes, locals in a Bukhanka van insisted on selfies 😄

  2. If you stood here the day you were born, you’d be 12 meters underwater. Today, the Aral has left, leaving behind its sea bottom.

    This is Butakov Bay - a brutal reminder of how fast human systems break. Rusted ships sit miles from moisture. Hot springs that once fed a cold sea now gush into desert air. It’s the second most surreal landscape we’ve crossed overlanding from Morocco to India.

  8. The Aral Sea catastrophe remains one of history's most devastating environmental disasters.
    Once Earth's 4th-largest lake, Soviet irrigation projects diverted its rivers for cotton farming—draining an entire sea within decades.
    The cost? Collapsed ecosystems, destroyed communities, severe health crises, and a legacy of damage spanning generations.
    A stark reminder that nature cannot be "controlled" without consequences.
