Sunken Town In The Philippines Remerges Due To Rising Temperatures
A dry land is emerging near the remnants of the old sunken town of Pantabangan, which has reappeared at a reservoir due to a severe drought caused by extreme heat, in Pantabangan, Philippines, on May 12, 2024. The 300-year-old settlement, featuring a church and several tombstones, is becoming a tourist attraction following a decline in water levels at the dam, a situation worsened by rising temperatures and the El Nino climate pattern. Other countries in Southeast Asia and East Asia are also experiencing hotter weather. (Photo by Ceng Shou Yi/NurPhoto)
