U.S. Geological Survey — Earth as Art 6

In northern Russia, the freshwater of the Mezen River meets the saltwater of the Arctic Ocean. The funnel-shaped estuary has a strong tidal current that mixes sediment in the water rather than building up a delta. In this colorful composition, the increasing brightness marks an increase in water turbidity
