Spring in Venice. Photo by Ebba Eriksson
Venice, once known as "The Floating City", can now be called
"The Sinking City" for not only is the town effected by the increase rise of sea levels
- obvious with flooding each high tide - but due to movement of tectonic plates and
the washing away of sediments scientists have found that the city is also
slowly sinking.
