Ship Cemetery in Muynak: Ghosts of the Aral Sea

This is the Ship Cemetery in Muynak, Karakalpakstan, in the Western part of Uzbekistan. Muynak (also spelled Moynak) used to be a very important fishing town at the shores of the Aral Sea.

But about 60 years ago, the Aral Sea started shrinking and Muynak was slowly getting farther and farther away from the lake it once depended on.

Instead of the water, Muynak is now surrounded by desert. A few rusting ships stand as haunting reminders that a vast lake once thrived here. Join me and let's explore the Muynak Ship Graveyard together.
