Google has updated Timelapse, a service that shows what has been happening on the planet since 1984. Satellites filmed everything: construction sites in the desert, melting glaciers, artificial islands and new cities. See how people and time changed the Earth.
Russia, Sochi
The Olympic construction site has connected Sochi and Adler, and the satellite shows how the almost wild coastline has turned into a modern city.
Russia, Vladivostok and Russky Island
Another large-scale construction project in recent years: the bridge and roads appear out of nowhere. This is speed.
Uzbekistan, Aral Sea
The dry Aral Sea still retained some of the water from the side of Kazakhstan, but apparently escaped from Uzbekistan for good.
UAE, Dubai
In the desert, not only the seas dry up, but entire cities appear. Luxurious and rich Dubai appeared literally out of the blue, as soon as oil was discovered in this place.
Egypt, Hurghada
Something similar happened in Egypt, in the tourist Hurghada. A holiday town arose on the Red Sea coast, and tourists settled in the desert.
Netherlands, Ijsselog
To save Lake Ketelmer from toxic waste pollution, a storage facility was built in the Netherlands. Now all the dirt is collected on the artificial island of IJsselog, where they are trying to purify the water.
Canada, Alberta
The history of the development of the Canadian province of Alberta is very short.
Tanzania, Kilimanjaro
This is the Kilimanjaro mountain peak, which used to be snowy. Now the snow is still there, but not at all on the same scale as before.
Tibetan plateau
Glaciers are not only leaving Africa. While the Aral Sea dries, white patches turn blue on the Tibetan plateau.
