Drought Reveals Sunken World War Two Ships in Danube
The wrecks of Nazi ships sunk during World War Two have emerged in the Danube River near Prahovo, Serbia, and in Hungary’s Danube-Drava National Park due to drought conditions. The river's low water levels have exposed these historic vessels, bringing attention to severe heat waves' lingering effects.
Historic World War Two shipwrecks have resurfaced in the Danube River due to unprecedented drought conditions in Serbia and Hungary. The Nazi vessels, long submerged, are now visible near the town of Prahovo in Serbia.
In Hungary, the Danube's water level fell to a mere 1.5 meters, revealing the skeletons of four more pre-1950 ships in the Danube-Drava National Park.
This phenomenon underscores the intense heat waves and extended droughts experienced during July and August, which have drastically altered the river's landscape.
