Superb April's comment! I thought it was a very interesting and very sad video. The changes over time were overwhelming and revolting, but none of those who had the power to do anything did. It's depressing.
This is the kind of video that makes your heart sink. I recently reread the story of the Aral Sea and I don't see any hope for the future, there are too many pesticides and poisons in the dust there to allow the creation of a healthy environment. Congratulations for the video and presentation! I almost felt the wind and the dust :) ...and the sadness of the place.
Many thanks for your awesome comment! It's a sad place with a sad history. Can't believe people would take such a decision, knowing from the beginning the lake would just disappear. I've read that the Soviets were actually surprised it took so long. They expected the Aral Sea to be gone in just a few years, and not decades. So it's not like they didn't know what they were doing by diverting the rivers. Anyway, a unique experience in the end. Had an interesting time, to say the least.
I can't help thinking how this video would have looked if you had shot it from the Aral Sea. You would probably have arranged for a fisherman to go for a boat ride in the sea, you would have listened to Modern Talking or something similar together and you would have continued to complain about the wind messing up your filming. But now it seems that the last trace of DNA left from the Aral Sea is in the canned fish exhibited at the museum. Big like also for the Discovery Channel-ish vibe in some moments... Hello, Discovery Channel, is anyone watching? And spectacular photos! 🌊⛵️🐟🦈
Thanks a lot! Nicely put with the Aral Sea DNA in the fish cans haha Would be a pretty cool video idea actually, that with the fisherman and the boat ride. Maybe in some centuries when the Aral Sea gets back to its original size.

Yeah, it's the sad kind of travel, but it was a unique experience at the same time. I'm glad I made it there

I bet if you went far enough into the desert, you would come across ship wreaks that were once at the bottom of the sea. Very interesting video.👍👍👍👍👍👍
He could have explored more, deeper in the desert, but probably it's not easy to get there and you're just alone.. still would have been fun for us 😂😂
Thank you so much for the awesome comment! I bet it would have been an adventure. Glad you enjoyed it anyway 😎🇺🇿
What a shame. Very interesting video.
Glad you enjoyed it. But yes, you are right, a very sad reality...
They should flood it again.
Rediverting the rivers would definitely help. Not sure it will happen anytime soon though
@@WhereDoWeTravelNow I doubt they will try it, so much time has passed, but maybe... guess it's worth a try. :)
