Aral: Information from Answers.com (300 words)
Aral, also known as Aralsk or Aral'sk, (Kazakh: Арал, Russian: Аральск) 46°46′N 61°43′E is a small city in south-western Kazakhstan, located in the oblast of Qyzylorda.
Aralsk was formerly a fishing port and harbour city on the banks of the Aral Sea, and was a major supplier of fish to the neighboring region.
Since the retreat of the Aral Sea since 1960, due to diversion of the rivers flowing into it for irrigation, mainly of cotton, during the Soviet era, Aralsk is now completely landlocked about 100 km from the sea.
