Jigsaw Puzzle : Bombetoka Bay, Madagascar
Jigsaw Puzzles from Science Photo Library
Bombetoka Bay, Madagascar
Bombetoka Bay, Madagascar, satellite image. This bay links the Betsiboka River (at right) with the Mozambique Channel (top left), part of the Indian Ocean. The river carries a large amount of sediment, which has led to the development of several silt islands. The edges of these are green as they have been colonised by mangroves. The heavy sediment load is largely due to deforestation along the rivers banks to make way for agriculture. Crops including rice and coffee are extensively grown in the area. This image, which is around 30 kilometres square, was taken by the ASTER instrument on the Terra satellite

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Bombetoka Bay in Madagascar, a stunning satellite image that reveals the intricate connection between nature and human activity. The bay serves as a vital link between the Betsiboka River and the Mozambique Channel, forming a gateway from the river to the vast Indian Ocean. However, what makes this image truly fascinating is the visible impact of deforestation along the riverbanks. The large amount of sediment carried by the Betsiboka River has given rise to several silt islands within Bombetoka Bay. These islands are adorned with vibrant green edges, thanks to their colonization by mangroves. Unfortunately, this heavy sediment load is primarily caused by deforestation driven by agricultural practices in order to make way for crops like rice and coffee. As we gaze upon this 30-kilometer square image captured by ASTER instrument on Terra satellite, it becomes evident how our actions can shape landscapes on such a grand scale. This photograph not only highlights the beauty of Madagascar's geography but also serves as a reminder of our responsibility towards preserving its delicate ecosystem. Taken on August 23rd, 2000, this remarkable Earth observation from space provides us with valuable insights into environmental changes occurring over time. Science Photo Library presents us with an opportunity to appreciate both natural wonders and human influence through their thought-provoking imagery.
