Satellite view of the Caspian Sea
April 9, 2004 - The Caspian Sea is a wash in color. The bright colors are probably caused by sediment and algae. The tan and green swirls hug the coast where agricultural run-off is carried on rivers into the Sea. In the north, a milky blue cloud of sediment seems to overtake the green algae swirls. Sediment commonly tints the water blue in the shallower sections of the Sea.
The worlds largest inland lake, the salty Caspian Sea separates Europe from Asia. Around the Sea, the snow has largely disappeared, except in the snow-capped Caucasus Mountains, and the land is turning green with the first flush of spring. Five countries border the Sea. Starting in the top right corner and moving clockwise, they include: Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Iran, Azerbaijan, and Russia. Uzebekistan, on the far right edge, and Armenia, on the left edge, are also shown in this image

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning satellite view of the Caspian Sea, captured on April 9,2004, showcases a mesmerizing display of colors that paint the vast expanse of water. The vibrant hues are likely a result of sediment and algae present in the sea. Along the coastlines, tan and green swirls can be seen, representing agricultural run-off carried by rivers into the sea. In the northern region, a milky blue cloud of sediment appears to overtake the green algae swirls. This phenomenon is common in shallower sections where sediment often tints the water blue. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded that the Caspian Sea holds significant geographical importance as it separates Europe from Asia. It stands as the largest inland lake globally and boasts an array of diverse landscapes surrounding its shores. With spring's arrival evident in this photograph, most snow has melted away except for atop the majestic Caucasus Mountains which remain capped with white. The five countries bordering this remarkable body of water can be identified by following a clockwise path: Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Iran, Azerbaijan, and Russia. Additionally visible on opposite edges are Uzbekistan to our far right and Armenia to our left. This awe-inspiring true-color snapshot taken from space offers us a unique perspective on Earth's natural wonders without any human presence disrupting its tranquility or grandeur.
