Mississippi Delta
Mississippi Delta. Coloured satellite image of the delta of the Mississippi River, USA. North is at top, the Gulf of Mexico is at lower left. Land is light blue, water is dark blue and sediment is green. A delta is an area of sedimentation (deposition) at the mouth of a river. Deltas are transitory and new channels are constantly forming while others become blocked. The main shipping channel of the Mississippi River runs from upper far left to bottom centre.

31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 31x27 inches (787x685mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing beauty of the Mississippi Delta, captured from space by NASA's Terra satellite on 24 May 2001. The image reveals a vibrant tapestry of colors that depict various elements of this remarkable geographical formation. With North positioned at the top and the Gulf of Mexico visible in the lower left corner, it offers a unique perspective on this iconic region. The light blue hues represent land areas, while dark blue shades symbolize water bodies within the delta. The striking green tones highlight sedimentation, illustrating how new channels constantly form and others become blocked over time. Deltas are transient landscapes shaped by deposition at river mouths, making them dynamic and ever-changing. Notably, the main shipping channel of the mighty Mississippi River can be observed running diagonally from upper far left to bottom center in this image. This vital waterway serves as a lifeline for commerce and transportation throughout its course. Taken by NASAs Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection (ASTER) radiometer aboard Terra satellite, this photograph is a testament to both scientific innovation and artistic appreciation for our planet's natural wonders. It reminds us of Earth's intricate interconnectedness between landforms and rivers while showcasing the breathtaking beauty found in our environment. This stunning visual representation invites viewers to marvel at nature's grandeur while contemplating humanity's impact on delicate ecosystems like the Mississippi Delta.
