The Aral Sea has now shriveled to well under half of the area it covered fifty years ago. In this satellite photo from 2002, the Aral Sea's former bed can still be seen by the lighter-colored salt beds that the receding sea has left behind; the lighter the color, the more recent the retreat. The huge peninsula in the middle was once a small island.
