Sukkur, Pakistan. This image was taken during the summer 2005 flooding. The island is connected via the Sukkur bridge (north) and the Landsdowne bridge (south). Southwest of the island is the Tomb of the 7 Sisters, a female-only allowed shrine to a group of 7 pious sisters who took refuge in a cave and then prayed to Allah to be saved from dishonor by a group of drunken soldiers. Allah responded by causing a cave-in and killing them before the soldiers could get to them.

Sukkur, Pakistan…on the now-flooding Indus
Comment by Doc Will | August 29, 2010
The Indus River flowing through the town of Sukkur, Sindh Province, northern Pakistan.
I wonder how much of this area, if any, is still above water…

Searched for a map showing flooded areas in Pakistan. The map highlighted Sukkur, Pakistan, which is the answer. First guess, too.
Come on over and play a scavenger hunt in google streetview at my game mapferret.net

Un pensamiento de fraternidad para toda la gente que ha sufrido de las intensas inundaciones. Es hora de tomar acciones fuertes contra el cambio climático.
