A Lake That Shrank by Ninety Percent

Lake Chad covered roughly 25,000 square kilometres in the 1960s and fell to around 1,350 by the mid-1980s — a loss of about 90%. It has partially recovered since, but nothing like its former extent.

The clock: N'Djamena keeps UTC+1 and sits on the border with Cameroon, the two halves of a divided urban area on the same hour.
