Description

Lake Urmia, 2011. Satellite image showing the water level of Lake Urmia (or Orumiyeh), Iran, in 2011. Lake Urmia is one of the world's largest landlocked salt lakes, but it is shrinking. Here, there is a rocky outcrop surrounded by dry land at upper centre, however in a similar image taken in 1998 it is an island. The cause of Orumiyeh's depletion is disputed. The Iranian government blames climate change and drought, while many citizens blame damming of rivers by the government. Imaged by the Thematic Mapper on NASA's Landsat 5 satellite, on 13 August 2011.
