Satellite image of southernmost Brazil
This Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) image from June 14, 2002, shows southernmost Brazil and the northern corner of Uruguay. In Brazil, the muddy Rio Jacui empties into a large salt water lagoon called Lago dos Patos. Just peeking out from behind the clouds where the river enters is a grayish cluster of pixels that marks the location of the city of Porto Alegre.
