In the Lankaran district, in the area of the Kanarmeshe village, ancient forest remnants that had been submerged under water for years have emerged as a result of the receding of the Caspian Sea, APA’s southern bureau reports.
It has been revealed that the protrusions that appear like rocks in the sea are actually the roots of giant trees. Local residents say that vast oak forests once existed in this area, and the name of the Kanarmeshe village originates from this.
The diameter of the exposed root remnants reaches 3–4 meters. Experts state that these trees belonged to large oak trees that lived for centuries and, despite remaining in the salty waters of the Caspian Sea for a long time, did not completely decay.
With the water receding, large tree trunks broken in several areas have also been encountered. The evidence indicates that as the Caspian Sea has withdrawn from the land it had advanced over for centuries, traces of a once-existing forest belt are reappearing.
