Yellow River entering the Bo Hai in China
02 May 2000, China --- China's Yellow River, or Huang He, is the world's muddiest. Stretching some 5,475 kilometers (3,395 miles) from eastern Tibet to Bo Hai, the river travels through soft plateaus of silt, picking up a massive sediment load on its journey. The river derives its yellow color from fine particles of mica, quartz, and feldspar. --- Image by © NASA/Corbis
