Venice 45°26′15′′N, 12°20′9′′E. Venice, Italy, is situated on 118 islands that are separated by canals and linked by bridges. With tide waters expected to rise to perilous levels in the coming decades, the city has constructed 78 steel gates across the three inlets through which water from the Adriatic could surge into Venice’s lagoon. The panels – which weigh 300 tons and are 92ft wide and 65ft high – are fixed to massive concrete bases dug into the seabed. (Photo by Daily Overview/DigitalGlobe, a Maxar Company)
