High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Vozrozhdeniya, also known as Rebirth Island (Russian: Остров Возрождения, Ostrov Vozrozhdeniya), was a former island of the Aral Sea or South Aral Sea. Due to the ongoing shrinkage of the Aral, it became first a peninsula in mid-2001 and finally part of the mainland. Since the disappearance of the Southeast Aral in 2008, Vozrozhdeniya effectively no longer exists as a distinct geographical feature. The area is now shared by Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan.
