Image taken 2/28/2000

The Ganges River forms an extensive delta where it empties into the Bay of Bengal. The delta is largely covered with a swamp forest known as the Sunderbans, which is home to the Royal Bengal Tiger.

 

The Ganges River Delta can be found on Landsat 7 WRS Path 137 Row 44, center: 23.12, 90.37.

Green land, with rivers running to the Delta. You can see 
sediment in the water.
