The Nile River
This image of the Nile River was captured by the MISRs nadir camera on January 30 2001. Against the barren desert of northeastern Africa the fertile valley of the Nile River runs northward through Egypt. The city of Cairo can be seen as a gray smudge right where the river widens into its broad fan-shaped delta. Where the Nile empties into the Mediterranean Sea (top) the waters are swirling with color likely a mixture of sediment organic matter and possibly marine plant life. Farther west the bright blue color of the water is likely less-organically rich
