English: This true-colour image shows that by August 2009, virtually nothing remained of the Southern Aral Sea’s eastern lobe. Although the Northern Aral Sea (upper right) still appears healthy, the Southern Aral Sea consists of two isolated water bodies: an irregular oval shape directly south-west of the Northern Aral Sea, and the long, thin remainder of the Southern Aral Sea’s far western lobe.

Lake sediments from this depleted water body have provided ample material for frequent dust storms. The black line shows the lake shore ca. 1960.
