Title:
Dust in the Indus Valley
Description:
From the foothills of the Himalaya Mountains (upper right) to the east of the broad swath of olive-green vegetation along the Indus River Plain, blowing dust and sand make their own river that flows past the Thar Desert and out over the Arabian Sea (lower left). The winds must be wide-spread and fierce over the region, as pale dust plumes are streaming away from orange-colored deserts in Afghanistan (upper left), as well.

This image was captured by the Mod erate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on the Aqu a satellite on May 23, 2004.
