      On February 1, 2023, the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer   
      (MODIS) on board NASA’s Aqua satellite captured a true-color image of   
      winter in Canada’s Maritimes.   
      
      The Maritimes are made up of three provinces, Nova Scotia, Prince   
      Edwards Island, and New Brunswick. Each can be seen in this image, with   
      New Brunswick (west) separated from Nova Scotia by the Bay of Fundy.   
      The partially ice-coated Northumberland Strait flows between Prince   
      Edward Island and the other two provinces, while the open waters of the   
      Gulf of Saint Lawrence wash the northern shores of the Island.   
      
      The wintery scene seems to be painted in monochrome, except for   
      splashes of muddy-toned brick red floating in the northern reaches of   
      the Bay of Fundy. The Bay of Fundy is the scene of the highest tides in   
      the world, which can rise up to 52 feet (16 meters). As the waves crash   
      against the shores and wash against muddy Bay and river bottoms,   
      sediment gets stirred up, creating persistently stained water at these   
      locations.
