This print from Science Photo Library showcases the mesmerizing beauty of the Mississippi Delta, located in Louisiana, USA. Taken on October 15th, 2001, this true-color Landsat satellite image provides a bird's-eye view of this remarkable geographical feature. The image depicts the mighty Mississippi River flowing from the top left corner into the Gulf of Mexico at the bottom left. The delta itself is an area where sedimentation occurs at the river's mouth. It is a constantly changing landscape, with new channels forming and others becoming blocked over time.
