Samborombón Bay

Samborombón Bay is the C-shaped bay near the southern end of the Río de la Plata estuary. In this satellite image floods on the Paraná River have pushed brown, sediment-laden water into Samborombón Bay. The Salado River is visible, emptying into the center of Samborombón Bay's coast.
