RioTinto tidal area and saltmarshes, with healthy vegetation
RioTinto tidal area and saltmarshes, with healthy vegetation and red silt containing pyrite (an iron mineral common in sediments). The silt is deposited by constant tidal flooding. This image was taken close to a phosphogypsum pond full of industrial waste, which is leaking toxic, radioactive water into the estuary. This part of the estuary is unpolluted

Nature's Contrasts - Where Beauty Meets Danger in RioTinto Estuary
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this aerial shot, the RioTinto tidal area and saltmarshes come alive with vibrant vegetation and a mesmerizing pattern of red silt. The healthy greenery stands tall, undeterred by the constant tidal flooding that deposits the iron-rich pyrite sediment. It's a true testament to nature's resilience. But there's more than meets the eye in this picturesque scene! Just beyond lies an industrial waste pond full of toxic, radioactive water leaking into the estuary. Yet miraculously, this part of the estuary remains unpolluted, untouched by human interference. From high above, we witness an unusual angle that showcases both beauty and danger intertwined. The flowing waters of the river meet with tides along the coast, creating a breathtaking wetland marshland teeming with life. This abstract art-like composition captures not only stunning geology but also raises awareness about our impact on fragile ecosystems. Milan Radisics' drone shot invites us to appreciate nature's wonders while reminding us of our responsibility to protect it. So take a moment to marvel at this elevated view where lush vegetation dances alongside treacherous waters—a reminder that even amidst adversity, Mother Nature continues to paint her masterpiece in Southern Europe's enchanting Andalusia region.
