Uploader comment: In late February, 2013, a layer of winter sea ice covered most of the northern Caspian Sea, while dust and sediment colored the waters a greenish-tan hue. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) aboard NASA’s Terra satellite captured this true-color image of the striking winter scene on February 26 as it flew over the region.
