Niger Delta, River delta in southern Nigeria
The Niger Delta extends over 70,000 square kilometers where the Niger River branches into numerous waterways before emptying into the Gulf of Guinea.
In 1885, the British established the Oil Rivers Protectorate in the region due to its palm oil production before transitioning to petroleum extraction.
The Niger Delta contains more than 40 ethnic groups, including Ijaw, Ibibio, and Urhobo peoples, who speak over 250 distinct dialects across the region.
Local communities depend on fishing activities and agriculture for sustenance, while the region produces 75 percent of Nigeria's petroleum exports.
The delta's complex network of distributaries creates an extensive system of mangrove forests that serve as breeding grounds for numerous fish species.

Satellite imagery has transformed how we view remote locations on Earth, offering perspectives on places that are often invisible or difficult to reach from ground level. This collection presents natural formations, artificial structures and historical sites from an aerial vantage point. From geological features like the circular Richat Structure in Mauritania's desert to ancient geoglyphs and modern engineering achievements, these images provide a distinct view of our planet's diversity. Locations documented include the geometric Nazca Lines in Peru, the pyramid structure of El Castillo in Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula and the Badlands Guardian in Alberta, a natural rock formation that resembles a head wearing headphones when seen from above. The collection also features Palm Jumeirah in Dubai, an artificial archipelago shaped like a palm tree, the vivid blue potash evaporation ponds in Utah, the pink waters of Lake Hillier in Western Australia and the volcanic island of Surtsey off Iceland. Additional examples include the Atacama Giant in Chile, a prehistoric geoglyph, the heart shaped Galesnjak island off Croatia's coast and the ship graveyard of the former Aral Sea in Uzbekistan, which documents the ecological consequences of human intervention.
