Venice

This iconic city is sinking rapidly.The canals that make up the streets of Venice rise 2mm every year，making relics of history go under the surface of water and destroying architecture.Experts warn that without intervention(干预)，this city will disappear back into the water at an even faster rate，consumed by rising sea level from melting polar ice caps.
