Snaking through the landscape

The meanders of a South American river captured from the International Space Station on 23 September 2023 by ESA astronaut Andreas Mogensen. When Andreas shared the picture on social media, he said:

"I have canoed and kayaked a little in South America, including the Orinoco, Casiquiare, and Rio Negro in Venezuela and the Ucayali and Urubamba rivers in Peru, but never in Colombia. I’m not sure which rivers these are, perhaps the Cauca or Nechi rivers. I love how they curve back on themselves, although I also remember how frustrating it could be to canoe all day and hardly make any distance on the map."
