16. Up The Creek

That's a meandering river!
Is that an oxbow lake?!
Puzzle by Kolina, Bellingcat. Part of the Natural Wonders series.
Gazing out of an airplane window gives you a unique perspective on the world. In this case, it's a view of a meandering river!
Different aircraft fly at different altitudes, but this small plane was high enough to capture the river's winding path.
What is the name of the river in the photograph? (don't include "River" in your answer)
