Image Caption:
STS49-87-113: Ganges River, Northern India The Ganges River ex-
tends from west to east across the frame, with a large bend to
the north at Jamalpur, Bihar State. Canals, wide deposits of
sediment along the river, and tributaries are displayed. The
color-infrared film clearly illustrates closed-canopy woodland on
the range of hills south of the river, and scattered patches of
growing vegetation throughout the landscape. This scene is the
darkest of a bracketed triplet. Hasselblad camera, 250mm lens,
color-infrared film.
