Sunken Town In The Philippines Remerges Due To Rising Temperatures
A dry land near the remnants of the old sunken town of Pantabangan is reemerging at a reservoir as a result of a severe drought due to extreme heat in Pantabangan, Philippines, on May 12, 2024. The 300-year-old settlement, which includes a church and several tombstones, is recently becoming a touristic attraction, following a decline in water levels at the dam caused by 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)
