[:ja]国際宇宙ステーションISSから撮影した世界最大の流域面積を持つアマゾン川のサングリント（太陽光が水面に対し，ほぼダイレクトに反射する鏡面反射）です。
画像からもわかりますが、アマゾン川は多くの支流を持ち、これらの支流は降雨などにより頻繁に形を変えます。通常は生い茂るジャングルのために見えませんが、サングリントから、画像左上方に多くの湖沼があることがわかります。
地上の様子はこちらです。

[Earthview Wonders] No.555: Amazon River Sunglint🇧🇷
International Space Station ISS captured the sunglint (brilliant reflection of sunlight) of the Amazon River, the largest by water volume and sediment discharge in the world.
As can be seen from the image, the Amazon has many tributaries. The numerous thinner lines show the many remnants of prior channels of this highly mobile river. The reflected sunlight even shows numerous ponds (top left) which are usually not visible due to the dense forest cover in central Amazonia.
The local scenery on the ground is as follows.
