This black-and-white photo shows a rusted fishing boat resting on dry cracked earth where water used to be. Lake Aral once covered 26,000 square miles. Soviet irrigation projects shrank it to less than 10 percent of that size by 2006. The boat sits silent, a ghost of the fishing lives the lake once supported. Check the Museum of Ethnography’s website to see more images from this series.
