Where the Amazon meets the Atlantic! 🌎
Take a stunning journey over northern Brazil, where the Amazon River’s powerful, sediment-rich flow merges with the Atlantic Ocean.
Originating in the Andes, the Amazon winds through six countries, carrying a brownish plume that delivers nearly 20% of Earth’s freshwater into the ocean. This view reveals dramatic contrasts: lush green rainforests, dark tributaries, and sprawling agricultural lands marking deforestation along the Transamazon Highway
Thanks for the recommendation, @tobiastho!
