Lop Nur | The Desert That Swallowed a Lake,Scientists, and Secrets

Описание: Lop Nur was once one of China’s largest inland lakes.
Today, it is an empty desert known as the “Lake of Death.”

from its disappearance in the twentieth century
to the mysterious deaths of scientist Peng Jiamu and explorer Yu Chunshun.

We examine the harsh environment that makes survival nearly impossible.
We revisit its role as China’s nuclear test site during the Cold War.
And we look at the legends that continue to surround this silent desert —
