I remember when the Aral sea was written off as never being able to be restored. I guess someone was wrong about that.
There is no mention of the biological weapons test site on Vozrozhdeniya Island. Some scary stuff went on there.
Some nice pictures at the site.

The Aral Sea is brutal proof to any extraterrestrials who might casually pass by the Earth that communism does not work and can only destroy.
I sincerely never imagined that it might be anywhere close to recovering.

“The people destroyed the sea and then nature took revenge on the people,” said Madi Zhasekenov, the director of the Aralsk Regional Museum and Fishermen Museum. “The People”, eh? It seems to me it was mostly Joseph Stalin and Nikita Khrushchev who destroyed the Aral Sea.
