Title:
Pollution over Bangladesh and India
Description:
The skies over northern India have been filled with a thick, gray layer of smoke and haze for most of December 2002. In this particular scene, acquired on Dec. 23, there appears to be a low-lying cloud (or perhaps ground-level fog, brighter white pixels) blanketing much of the region south of the Himalayas. The smaller white patches to the north are the snow-covered peaks of the Himalayan Mountains.
