▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪
● Parana river is a river flowing in South Central America.
● This is the second largest river after the Amazon River in flowing streams in South America.
● The name of the Paraná River means 'Big like sea'.
● First it is found in the Paraguay River and then falls further down into the Uruguay River and joins the Atlantic Ocean, creating the mouth of the Rio de la Plata river.
● It travels 4,880 kilometers (3,030 miles) flowing in Brazil, Paraguay and Argentina.
● The Paraná River is seen as a small, blue bar, which appears along the dirty brown color of the small verde river while entering from north-west (top left).
● A vast wetland (dark green) this astronaut lives in most of the photo, and the area of flood reaches the width of 11 kilometers (about 7 miles).
● The thin line of road crossing the flood plain also gives a sense of scale.
● Above Paraná-Verde Sangam (Image Center), the flood plain is much more narrow.

The Paraná River (Río Paraná in Spanish, Rio Paraná in Portuguese) is a river in south-central South America, running through Brazil, Paraguay, and Argentina. This river, together with its tributaries, forms the larger of the two river systems that drain into the Río de la Plata. It is 3,032 miles (4,880 kilometers) long and extends from the confluence of the Grande and Paranaíba rivers in southern Brazil, running generally southwestward for most of its course, before turning southeastward to drain into the Río de la Plata.
The Paraguay-Paraná river system covers an area of almost 1 million square miles, making it the second largest river system in South America, outranked only by the Amazon River.
Along the Paraná's course is the impressive Itaipu Dam, the largest hydroelectric power station in the world, which creates a massive, shallow reservoir behind it.
The first European to travel the "Father of the Waters" (from the Guaraní language) was Sebastian Cabot in 1526.
In 1525 Cabot assumed charge of a three-ship Spanish expedition intended to develop trade with the Orient. However, he diverted the expedition to the South American continent due to reports of fabulous wealth in the Río de la Plata region. After three years of what was considered fruitless exploration, he returned to Spain where he was judged responsible for the failure of the expedition and was banished to Africa.
