Title : Phytoplankton bloom near Cape Verde Islands
Caption :
Dust from the Sahara Desert blows out over the Atlantic Ocean, and nutrients present in the dust 'fertilize' the water, supporting blooms of marine plant life. This true-color image from November 5, 2001, shows a bloom of phytoplankton occurring in the Atlantic Ocean beneath a cloud of dust. At the image's lower left are the Cape Verde Islands.
