I like it! I scroll through until I find an interesting picture, then read the part of the text that goes with it. In the end I read most-but-not-all of the article, in a haphazard sequence.

I think it is a bit like reading a "glossy magazine". It is not the same expectation as an encyclopedia, but it is pleasant to read (at least for me).
I like optional videos. It's still possible to view them if one feels like it, but it's not necessary to understand and enjoy the rest.
I liked it as well, I think these kind of "immersive" stories are highly execution dependent and in this particular case quite well done.

In particular the series of 3 slides (pages) - that showed the lake shrinking over time were quite effective at conveying just how much of a calamity the situation is.
