Rio de la Plata
NASA astronaut photograph of the Río de la Plata estuary looking west-east, the picture does not show a north and south view. Actually the right is the south and the bottom of the picture is the west. Note Greater Buenos Aires on the right side of the picture, and Montevideo on the left side (near the mouth of the Santa Lucía. To the east of Greater Buenos Aires, a smaller conurbation is visible, including La Plata (a few kilometers inland) and the Berisso-Ensenada area (near the river). Water on the river is brown because of sediments carried from the Paraná and Uruguay rivers. The color turns blue when approaching the South Atlantic Ocean. The exact location of the color change (which also implies a change from fresh to salt water) depends on winds and currents.

Lake Tanganyika
STS51G-034-0012 Lake Tanganyika, Tanzania, Zaire, and Zambia June 1985
This east-looking, high-oblique photograph features Lake Tanganyika—the second deepest freshwater lake in the world with a maximum depth of 4710 feet (1436 meters) and the longest lake in the world, stretching 410 miles (660 kilometers) north to south. Its width varies between 10 and 45 miles (16 and 72 kilometers). The lake, bordered on either side by steep slopes, fills a long narrow trough in the western arm of Africa’s Great Rift Valley and supports a thriving fishing industry. The lake basin, a landform in which a block of the Earth’s crust dropped down between blocks that rise on either side, began to form nearly 25 million years ago as part of the Great Rift Valley. On the lake’s west shore is Tanganyika’s sole outlet, the Lukuga River, which is a tributary of the Zaire River (northwest portion of photograph). The Zaire River flows westward and empties into the Atlantic Ocean. Other features in the photograph are shallow, silt-laden Lake Rukwa to the east of the lake and the extreme northern tip of Lake Nyasa near the southeast horizon. 18 June 1985, NASA

Lake Malawi
Lake Malawi in Africa, photographed by astronauts aboard the Space Shuttle.
Original image courtesy of the Image Analysis Laboratory, NASA Johnson Space Center (eol.jsc.nasa.gov). Image ID: STS061-75-48. Image cropped, sharpened and gamma-corrected.
This low-oblique, southeast-looking photograph shows Lake Malawi, one of many elongated lakes that form part of the Great Rift Valley of east Africa. The lake, bounded by steep mountains on all sides except the southern end, is approximately 360 miles (580 kilometers) long, averages 25 miles (40 kilometers) in width, and has a maximum depth of 2316 feet (706 meters). Lake Malawi is drained at the south end by the Shire River, which eventually empties into the Zambezi River. The lake and its steep-sloped shoreline were created by faulting that caused a thrust upward as the valley floor subsided between the slopes. The darker area along the northwest coast of the lake is the Nyika Plateau, which has several elevations more than 8000 feet (2440 meters) above sea level. Landlocked Malawi extends along the entire west coast of the lake. The large Luangwa River basin is visible as it drains to the southwest. Immediately west of the Luangwa River Valley stand the northeast-southwest-trending Muchinga Mountains with their dark ridgeline and maximum elevations reaching 6000 feet (1830 meters) above sea level. Northwest of this mountain range, drainage is to the north and west into the much larger Zaire (Congo) River watershed.

Great Slave Lake
Great Slave Lake in Canada’s Northwest Territories
These true- and false-color images of central Canada show the Great Slave Lake in the Northwest Territories (top) and Lake Athabasca to the southeast. Lake Athabasca straddles the border between Alberta (west) and Saskatchewan (east). A fire (red dot) is burning in Alberta, and the snow capped Rocky Mountains cut through southwest Alberta at bottom left. In the false-color image, vegetation is green, water is dark blue, and ice (or snow) is light blue. (Captions added by Kayoty)
