Images

The MODIS on the Terra satellite captured this image of Indochina on December 24, 2009.

Scattered fires (red dots) burn across the region.

At upper left is Thailand, in the center is Cambodia, and along the right edge is Vietnam. In Thailand, the city of Bangkok appears as a large grayish patch along the coast of the northernmost part of the Gulf of Thailand. In Cambodia, the Tonlé Sap Lake appears deep green and brown. The river running southward through Cambodia and emptying into the South China Sea is the Mekong River.
