Space-Caspian Sea
This NASA Aqua satellite image released 15 April, 2004 shows the deep blue waters of the Caspian Sea. The most dramatic feature of the scene is the colorful water in the shallow, northern part (TOP) of the large lake. These blue and green swirls are probably a mixture of plant life, sediment, and organic matter washed in by the Volga River at upper left. The snow-covered mountain range at left center is the Caucasus. AFP PHOTO/NASA / AFP PHOTO / NASA / NASA

Released by NASA's Aqua satellite in 2004, it unveils a stunning contrast between the deep blue waters and the vibrant colors present in its shallow northern part.
