Dead Sea 1984-2011 C013 / 7143
Dead Sea 1984-2011. Landsat satellite photo of the Dead Sea in 1984 (left) and 2011 (right). The Dead Sea is located in the Jordan Rift Valley and borders Jordan, Israel, and the West Bank. It is one of the worlds saltiest bodies of water. In recent decades, the sea has been shrinking due to diversion of water from the Jordan River, the seas main tributary. Mineral evaporation ponds that have replaced open water in the southern part of the sea can be seen in the 2011 image

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Dead Sea 1984-2011 C013 / 7143" offers a striking visual representation of the dramatic changes that have occurred in the Dead Sea over a span of nearly three decades. The image, captured by NASA's Landsat satellite, showcases two contrasting views side by side: the left panel depicts the Dead Sea in 1984, while the right panel shows its appearance in 2011. Situated within the Jordan Rift Valley and bordered by Jordan, Israel, and the West Bank, this iconic body of water is renowned for its extreme salinity. However, human intervention has taken a toll on this natural wonder. Over recent years, diversion of water from its main tributary -the Jordan River- has led to a significant shrinkage in size. The consequences are evident as one examines these images closely; where once open waters dominated in 1984, mineral evaporation ponds now dominate the southern part of the sea in 2011. This transformation serves as an alarming reminder of environmental damage caused by excessive water usage and highlights how our actions can impact precious natural resources like never before. As we reflect upon this thought-provoking photograph from Science Photo Library's collection courtesy of NASA/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY, it compels us to recognize both our responsibility towards preserving Earth's delicate ecosystems and our capacity to bring about positive change for future generations.
