Located on the central west coast of Malaysia on the island of Borneo, the growing industrial city of Bintulu can be seen in this near-nadir view. The city is situated on the coast at the mouths of the Sebiew and Kemena Rivers. The region is hot and rainy all year long. Large reserves of oil and gas were discovered offshore of Bintulu in the 1960's. This discovery has brought an influx of heavy industries. Bintulu has one of the most modern and efficient multipurpose ports in Southeast Asia. The timber industry is also a major economic factor for the city. Forest clearing is discernible scattered throughout the lower half of the image. The South China Sea covers the upper portion of the image.
