River Nile Delta and Suez Canal
River Nile Delta and Suez Canal, Egypt, satellite image. North is at top. Water is black, vegetation is green and arid land is brown. The image data has been decorrelated to enhance the colours. The delta of the River Nile is intensively farmed due to the rich and fertile sediment deposited by the river as it reaches the Mediterranean Sea. Centre- pivot irrigation circles are seen at lower centre. At right, the Suez Canal connects the Red Sea to the Mediterranean. This 180-kilometre-wide image was taken on 20 September 1984, in visible and infrared wavelengths, with the Thematic Mapper (TM) sensor on a NASA Landsat satellite

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning satellite image captures the breathtaking beauty of the River Nile Delta and Suez Canal in Egypt. The photo, taken on 20 September 1984 by a NASA Landsat satellite, showcases the diverse landscape of this region. With north at the top, we can see the contrasting colors that define different elements of this area. The black water of the river stands out against the vibrant green vegetation along its banks. This lushness is a result of rich sediment deposited by the Nile as it flows into the Mediterranean Sea, making it an ideal location for intensive farming. In fact, at lower center, you can observe circular patterns created by center-pivot irrigation systems used to cultivate crops. To the right side of the image lies one of Egypt's most iconic landmarks -the Suez Canal- connecting both Red Sea and Mediterranean waters. Spanning an impressive width of 180 kilometers, this man-made marvel plays a crucial role in global trade and transportation. The enhanced colors in this image provide us with a unique perspective on land use and environmental factors within this African nation. From space, we witness how human activity has shaped these landscapes through cultivation and agricultural practices. Overall, this photograph serves as a testament to both nature's wonders and humanity's ability to harness its resources for sustenance and progress.
