Ships Graveyard in the Desert of Moynaq, Uzbekistan


In Uzbekistan, an eerie ship graveyard filled with hauntingly beautiful shipwrecks beckons, is literally a ghost town in the middle of the desert. Moynaq ship Graveyard — Mo‘ynoq also spelled as Muynak and Moynaq, is a city in northern Karakalpakstan in western Uzbekistan. It was formerly a sea port, now home to only a few thousand residents at most. Mo‘ynoq’s population has been abating precipitously since the 1980s due to the recession of the Aral Sea.Source: Charismatic Planet
