iss073e0604445 (Aug. 30, 2025) --- The Okavango Delta, part of the Moremi Game Reserve in Botswana, is formed by the Okavango River flowing in from Angola. Instead of reaching the sea, the river empties into the Kalahari Desert, creating a lush, seasonally flooded wetland that supports one of the most biodiverse ecosystems in Africa. This photograph was taken from the International Space Station as it orbited 261 miles above the African continent.
