Abandoned cottage in the mudflat

Abandoned water cottage in the mirror-like mudflat.

It was probably a visitor facility.

 

Cape Ca Mau was supposedly formed with the sediment provided by the Mekong, then carried by the sea current. Therefore, the cape is surrounded by mudflats that are expected to be additional lands for Vietnam in the future.

 

The outlook is now darkened by the sea level rise combined with the hydropower plant constructions in the upstream of the Mekong, namely, in China and Laos, which may significantly reduce the sedimentation in the Mekong Delta.
