10 Beautiful, Yet Alarming Photos Of An Island That’s Losing The Battle To Global Warming

Recently, I visited #Ghoramara Island which is losing is terrain by the day to the rising seas as a result of climate change. Two thirds of its population have already moved out of the island. It is located in the Sunderban area in the Bay of Bengal about 150 km south of Kolkata. Not less than half of its landmass has been submerged under water in the last 50 years.
