BARÇA BARSAK – The Atlantic Route

About this title

The Atlantic migration route is one of the most dangerous escape routes in the world. It leads from the West African coast—from countries such as Senegal, Gambia, and Mauritania—across the open Atlantic to the Spanish Canary Islands. Despite the great risks, thousands of people venture across the sea every year in simple, often overloaded wooden boats. Many of them disappear without a trace at sea.
