GHOST VILLAGE

GHOST VILLAGE: Extreme heat across Europe has reportedly revealed everything from shipwrecks and corpses, to ornamental gardens and ancient cities. In Spain, a drought in Galicia has led to the re-exposure of a small ‘ghost village’ known as Aceredo. Situated near Spain’s border with Portugal, the village was flooded in 1992 to make room for the Alto Lindoso reservoir. Some 30 years later tourists have been flocking to see a place frozen in time. Scientists expect Galicia to continue suffering from extreme dry spells. Photograph: Bloomberg
