Niger Delta Estuaries
The complex network of river branches and mangrove swamps where the delta meets the sea.

Expansive views of the Atlantic Ocean stretching toward the southern horizon.
Gas Flares
The distinct orange glows of oil and gas processing facilities dotting the delta landscape.
Eko Atlantic
