Summary

[edit]
Description
English: On October 22, 2021, the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on board NASA’s Terra satellite acquired a true-color image centered on King Sound, Western Australia. This magnificent gulf, which measures roughly 75 miles (120 km) long, is a notable landmark on the northwestern coast of Australia. The King Sound has the highest tides in all of Australia, and the second highest in the world. Only the Bay of Fundy, Canada, has higher tides. The head of the Sound receives water and sediment from the Fitzroy River, one of Australia’s largest rivers. Several other rivers flow into the King Sound, including the Lennar, Meda, Robinson, and May Rivers. The large brown smudge at the head of the sound is created from sediment pouring from the rivers into the Sound as well as from mud churned up from the bottom by the strong tides.
