Parana River Delta, Argentina

Parana River Delta
Image taken 5/26/2000

The Parana River delta is a huge forested marshland about 20 miles northeast of Buenos Aires, Argentina. The area is a very popular tour destination. Guided boat tours can be taken into this vast labyrinth of marsh and trees. The Parana River delta is one of the world's greatest bird-watching destinations. This image highlights the striking contrast between dense forest and wetland marshes, and the deep blue ribbon of the Parana River.

 

The Parana River Delta can be found on Landsat 7 WRS Path 225 Row 83, center: -33.18, -58.36.

Gorgeous image with river in blue spidering through black
