Summary
[edit]DescriptionAmazon River, Sentinel-2.jpg |
English: Having its source in the Peruvian Andes and flowing into the Atlantic Ocean 6,450 km away, after passing through Brazil, the Amazon River is one the longest rivers in the world. More than 2,500 species of mammals, amphibians and water snakes have been identified in its waters, making the Amazon the first river in the world in terms of animal biodiversity. Its vegetal biodiversity also has unique characteristics, being linked to the Amazonian rainforest, which houses at least 10% of the world's known endemic and endangered flora and fauna species. This image, acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites on 12 August 2017, shows a very rare almost completely cloudless view of the Amazon River estuary. Thanks to the very high acquisition frequency, the data derived from Sentinel-2 are the basis of the most recent studies on biodiversity in Amazonian rainforest. |
