Sunken Town In The Philippines Remerges Due To Rising Temperatures
The remnants of the old sunken town of Pantabangan, which have reemerged, are visible through a withered tree at a reservoir due to a severe drought caused by extreme heat in Pantabangan, Philippines, on May 12, 2024. The 300-year-old settlement, including a church and several tombstones, is becoming a tourist attraction following the decline in water levels at the dam, which is attributed to rising temperatures and exacerbated by the El Nino climate patterns. Other countries in Southeast Asia and East Asia are also experiencing hotter weather. (Photo by Ceng Shou Yi/NurPhoto)
