The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on board NASA’s Terra satellite acquired a true-color image of the Niger River as it makes its way across Mali and the green Inland Niger Delta on October 17, 2018.

Summary[edit]

Description
English: The Niger River courses along a crescent shape through parched, landlocked Mali. The third-longest river in Africa, the Niger skirts the edge of the Sahara Desert before turning southward to join the Bani River. The confluence of the two rivers – and a network of smaller streams – gives rise to the Inland Niger Delta, a green oasis comprised of twisting waterways and tiny islands.

The size of the Inland Delta depends on the season - the delta grows to about 20,000 square kilometers (7,700 square miles) during the four-month rainy season that begins in July and can shrink to about 3,900 square kilometers (1,500 square miles) during the dry season.
