Following the withdrawal of Lake Van as a result of drought and excessive evaporation, a port with 11 steps emerged within the borders of Erciş district beneath a Urartian castle in Van, Turkey. Photographers and journalists who saw such a structure for the first time went to the area and captured the moment on film.
Photographer Emine Galiç Şengöz said, “We photographed this historical port in astonishment with our friends. All nature and photography lovers should definitely see this historical place.”
