Titicaca Lake Dries Out as Bolivia Suffers Record Winter Heat

HUARINA, BOLIVIA - SEPTEMBER 29: A dead bird floats in stagnant water in Lake TIticaca on September 29, 2023 in Huarina, Bolivia. Water level of Titicaca Lake, the highest navigable lake in the world, is dropping drastically due to an unprecedented winter heat that hits the country. By December, there is a "high probability" that the lake will be 64 centimeters below the drought alert level, breaking the historic record set in 1996. Local communities in the Bolivian highlands who rely in the lake to survive are particularly vulnerable. (Photo by Gaston Brito Miserocchi/Getty Images)
