December 13, 2007 - Haze along the Himalaya
Tweet
Haze hugged the southern slopes of the Himalaya on December 10, 2007. The MODIS on NASA's Terra satellite took this picture the same day. This image shows the region around Kanpur, India, with dingy gray haze blanketing the area. Multiple factors can contribute to haze near the Himalaya in late fall and early winter.
Black lines show country borders - Kanpur, India's border with Nepal runs right along the haze. Nepal is the strip covered with clouds in the top right-hand corner of the image.
