Nile Delta, satellite image
Nile Delta, Egypt, satellite image. North is at top. The River Nile flows from bottom, out of the deserts (light brown) of Egypt, and into the Mediterranean Sea (top, blue). As it reaches the sea it slows down and deposits its load of sediment, forming this fan-shaped delta that is rich in vegetation (green). The delta is around 200 kilometres across. One of the northern ends of the Red Sea is at lower right, and the Suez Canal is at upper right. Image data obtained on 23 August 2000

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning satellite image captures the breathtaking beauty of the Nile Delta in Egypt. With the North positioned at the top, we can see the majestic River Nile flowing from the arid deserts of Egypt (depicted in light brown) and gracefully merging into the vibrant blue waters of the Mediterranean Sea. As it nears its final destination, the river slows down and deposits its sediment load, creating a magnificent fan-shaped delta that is teeming with lush vegetation (shown in green). Spanning approximately 200 kilometers across, this delta is a testament to nature's ability to transform barren landscapes into thriving ecosystems. In this image taken on August 23rd, 2000, we also catch a glimpse of other notable features. Towards the lower right corner lies one end of the Red Sea while at upper right, we can spot an iconic engineering marvel -the Suez Canal. This photograph not only showcases Earth's natural wonders but also highlights human interventions that shape our planet. The Science Photo Library has provided us with an extraordinary view from space that allows us to appreciate both physical geography and environmental dynamics. It serves as a reminder of how interconnected our world truly is and how fragile yet resilient our environment can be.
