Title : Kuwait City, Kuwait August 1992
Caption :
This photograph provides evidence that the reclamation process created by the naturally occurring desert winds is well under way just 1-1/2 years after Saddam Hussein ordered all oil wells in Kuwait to be set on fire. The large dark spots in the photograph are standing pools of oil. Kuwait City is clearly visible on the south side of Kuwait Bay. The sediment plume surrounding Bubiyan and Faylaka Islands is mostly coming from the joint Euphrates and Tigris River Delta, the main body of which is outside the photo.
