EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Caspian Sea 1972-2010 C013 / 7145" offers a remarkable visual journey through time. Captured by the Landsat satellite, it showcases the Caspian Sea in three different years: 1972 on the left, 1987 in the middle, and 2010 on the right. As the largest body of inland water globally, this stunning region is bordered by Russia, Azerbaijan, Iran, Turkmenistan, and Kazakhstan. The image tells a tale of environmental change and human impact. In particular, the center picture reveals a significant loss of water and an expansive salt bowl area caused by blocking off part of the Caspian Sea in 1980. However, hope emerged when this barrier was breached in 1992; subsequently allowing water levels to rise again as evident in the vibrant scene from 2010. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder of our planet's vulnerability to natural resource depletion and environmental damage. The evaporation process that led to such drastic changes over several decades is both awe-inspiring and concerning. As we reflect upon this image captured from space with Earth observation technology provided by NASA/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY, it prompts us to appreciate our responsibility towards preserving precious water resources for future generations. The Caspian Sea's transformation throughout these years stands as a testament to nature's resilience while urging us all to prioritize sustainable practices for safeguarding our planet's delicate ecosystems.
