Iquitos Peru used to sit along the banks of the Amazon River, but as you can see in this video, the river had other plans. The meandering river changes course continuously through the video, leaving behind a variety of beautiful scroll bars and oxbows, while simultaneously eroding other features.

Let me know in the comments which fluvial process or depositional feature catches your eye in this video. The video frame is about 45 km wide, and the coordinates are: -3.7458713, -73.1862409. All data and imagery is sourced from Google Earth.
