[edit] Summary

Description

Satellite image of the w:Volga Delta at the w:Caspian Sea. This time of year, the river is running high, flushed with melting snow and springtime rain. The flood water has swept dark brown mud into the Caspian Sea. The mud fades to a soupy green as it becomes diluted in the water. While most of the green seen in the Caspian Sea in this image appears to be diluted mud, some may be phytoplankton or w:algal blooms, particularly in the lower right corner of the image.
