Amazon delta, Brazil
Amazon River delta, Brazil, satellite image. The Amazon River drains much of northern South America, meeting the Atlantic Ocean towards the north of Brazil. In terms of volume of water it is the largest river in the world, depositing 180, 000 cubic metres of water per second into the Atlantic in the rainy season. The delta, of which this image shows a small part has a tidal bore, which means that silt is carried off and does not deposit

EDITORS COMMENTS
This satellite image captures the breathtaking beauty of the Amazon River delta in Brazil. Stretching across northern South America, the Amazon River is renowned for its immense volume of water, making it the largest river in the world. During the rainy season, an astonishing 180,000 cubic meters of water per second flow into the Atlantic Ocean. The print showcases a small portion of this expansive delta, which boasts a unique phenomenon known as a tidal bore. This natural occurrence prevents silt from settling and instead carries it away with each tide. The result is a constantly evolving landscape shaped by powerful forces of nature. As we gaze upon this awe-inspiring image taken from space, we are reminded of the sheer magnitude and importance of this region. The Amazon Rainforest thrives alongside this mighty river, serving as Earth's lungs and providing vital oxygen to our planet. Let us appreciate not only the geographical wonders captured within this photograph but also recognize that its significance extends far beyond aesthetics. It serves as a reminder to protect and preserve these precious ecosystems for future generations to come.
