Astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti captured from ISS the Rio Grande Delta which is the border of Mexico and the U.S.
The length of the Rio Grande is 3,051km, making it the 4th longest river in the U.S. It originates in south-central Colorado and flows to the Gulf of Mexico. The Rio Grande with its fertile valley, along with its tributaries, is a vital water source for seven U.S. and Mexican states, and flows primarily through arid and semi-arid lands. After traversing the length of New Mexico, the Rio Grande becomes the Mexico-U.S. border. Although irrigated agriculture exists throughout most of its stretch, it is particularly extensive in the subtropical Lower Rio Grande Valley. The river ends in a small, sandy delta at the Gulf of Mexico.
The local scenery on the ground is as follows.
