Discover the Beautiful Bay of Bengal
The beautiful Bay of Bengal forms the southern border of Bangladesh, and
washes the shores of neighboring Myanmar and India, joining the vast
Indian Ocean to the south. As the largest natural bay in the world, the
triangular-shaped Bay of Bengal covers an area of around 2,172,000
square kilometers and includes numerous islands. Rivers of Bangladesh
flowing into the Bay of Bengal include the Padma, a main tributary of
the legendary Ganges; Meghna, one of three main rivers in the Sundarbans
Delta; and Brahmaputra, which becomes the Jamuna River when it flows
through Bangladesh and into the bay.
