STS109-712-84 Surinam, northern S. America: Beaches at the mouth of Suriname River are nesting ground for leatherback turtles. This is one of several South American coastal areas being monitored as part of the CSA Space for Species project. The city of Paramaribo is near the eastward-projecting point on the western riverbank.

STS109-711-3 Irrawaddy River delta: Smoke in the Irrawaddy valley and fires on the mountain sides to the east.

STS109-348-27 SW Cape Province: Very large sunglint point over the Atlantic Ocean, related to HST altitude.

STS109-712-38 Freshwater lenses off a tropical river mouth (no DRM).

STS109-406-1 Australia: Submarine sand banks, Moreton I., Queensland.

STS109-707-50 Tanzania: Rufiji R delta, almost never photographed. The delta supports the largest mangrove forest on the east coast of Africa. These mangroves support an extensive fishery, and are the breeding area of a nationally important prawn fishery.

STS109-729-37 Southern Madagascar: Mangoky River delta.

STS109-712-54 Madagascar: Mangoky River delta, southwestern Madagascar.

STS109-728-4 Madagascar: Mangoky delta, southwestern Madagascar - general view.

STS109-712-93 Namibia: Coastal sand spits at Walvis Bay (top) and Sandwich Harbor (bottom).
