Aftermath of the Chalala River Floods, 1998

The rocky aftermath of a major flood event on the Chalala River near Lake Kariba, Zimbabwe, in 1998. This archival photograph shows the riverbed transformed into a field of massive boulders and debris after the floodwaters receded. A figure standing on the rocks provides a sense of scale to the environmental impact of seasonal flash floods in the Zambezi Valley, highlighting the dramatic geographical changes caused by extreme weather events in the late 90s.
