Haiti and Santo Domingo: a grim portrait of decay and decline

It depicts mass poverty, primitive living conditions, and widespread demoralization, condemning governance, religion, and social life as degenerate and failed.

From The London Telegraph a report notes the Caspian Sea as a vast low basin with land to the north and the Aral Sea nearby. The Caspian, nearly as large as France, sits 84 feet below the Black Sea level. the Aral, almost Ireland-sized, is near sea level. Both lakes were once seas, now their beds rise as waters recede. Large rivers feed them, especially the Caspian and Aral basins.
