Chilling out in Brazil 🌊

Located to the east of Rio de Janeiro, Cabo Frio is Portuguese for "Cape Cold" — so named because the ocean that surrounds it is unusually chilly. Strong northeasterly winds that blow along Cabo Frio's coast push warm surface waters away from the shore, allowing cool water from deeper in the ocean to rise to the surface. This upwelled water is also rich in nutrients, helping feed the rich marine ecosystem off of Cabo Frio's shores.

This image of Cabo Frio was taken from space on September 16, 2023, by the OLI-2 (Operational Land Imager-2) instrument aboard Landsat 9, a partnership between NASA and @USGS. June 8 is #WorldOceansDay — follow @NASAEarth for more photos from around our home planet!

Image description: A lush, green cape, as seen from space. The bottom and right borders are filled with deep blue water, but the land and various lagoons take up the rest of the image. Developed areas fill the bottom-right corner of the visible land, and stretch out across the beaches and lagoon shores beyond.
