Summary

Description
English: Dust plumes rose from desiccated lakebed sediments of the Aral Sea in late March 2010. The MODIS on NASA’s Aqua satellite captured this true-color image on March 26, 2010. A pale beige plume of dust blows from the sediments of the South Aral Sea toward the southeast, along the Kazakhstan-Uzbekistan border. Northeast of the plume, two red outlines indicate hotspots associated with fires.
