New satellite imagery from NASA's Earth Observatory documents seasonal changes across an isolated stretch of farmland in the Saskatchewan River Delta, surrounded by wetlands near the town of The Pas in Manitoba.
The farmland, described as an agricultural "island" because of its position within the delta's wetlands, represents Manitoba's northernmost farming area.
Imagery captured over the course of the 2026 growing season shows the land transitioning from green to brown as crops mature and the growing season progresses.
The Saskatchewan River Delta is one of North America's largest inland river deltas, and its wetland ecosystem surrounds the pocket of agricultural land captured in the NASA imagery.
