A picture taken on September 29, 2021, shows patterns formed by crystalized minerals on the surface of evaporation ponds of the Dead Sea, near the southern Israeli Moshav of Ein Tamar. A spectacular expanse of water in the desert, flanked by cliffs to east and west, the Dead Sea has lost a third of its surface area since 1960. The blue water recedes about a metre (yard) every year, leaving behind a lunar landscape whitened by salt and perforated with gaping holes. (Photo by Menahem Kahana/AFP Photo)
