Clip of the Week<\/h3>\n

This week’s clip is a tracking aerial shot of the source of the Rio Tinto river<\/a>, Andalusia, Spain. It was filmed in January 2019 by Milan Radisics. Rio Tinto translates as Red River, as the river is coloured by oxidised iron and other minerals leaching from the surrounding terrain. The river maintains this colour for around 50km, before both the colour and the mineral content of the water start to decline.<\/span><\/p>\n
