Indio Mountains
Additional Information
This 58-mile-wide scene from November 11 2020 shows the Rio Grande crossing the scene from the top center towards the bottom right. The Indio Mountains Research Station is in the southern extension of the Eagle Mountains, central to the scene north of the Rio Grande. It is managed by the University of Texas at El Paso with an emphasis on research and instruction for the biological and geological sciences. The Rio Grande channel repeatedly narrows as it cuts through folded mountains that traverse the border between Texas and Mexico.
