This summer has been a hot one. Climate change induced by human activity has led to heatwaves and severe droughts, and the extreme weather has seen rivers, lakes and reservoirs dry up around the world — revealing everything from historical sites and war relics to several sets of human remains.

Statista has mapped some of the most curious and fascinating discoveries made this year as a result of droughts.
