The Lena River flows north for over 2,800 miles (4,500 km) through Russian Siberia to the Arctic Ocean. As the Lena enters the ocean, it divides into many channels and forms a large delta. The Landsat 7 satellite acquired this image in July 2000, and it is featured in the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service exhibition, "Earth from Space."
