A toy boat in a dried up river bed on Lesbos, Greece.
A childrens toy boat in a dried up river bed above Skala Eresou on Lesbos , Greece. Many rivers in the southern Mediteranean are ephemeral, drying up in the summer months. However climate change is causing this area to become both hotter and drier, leading to rivers that flow less often, with associated water shortages.
