Cyclone Nargis is seen making its way across the Bay of Bengal just south of Myanmar in this image captured on Environmental Satellite (Envisat) May 1, 2008. Envisat is an earth-observing satellite built by the European Space Agency (ESA). Nearly 22,500 people were killed and 41,000 are still missing after Cyclone Nargis ripped through the delta, Asia's most devastating cyclone since 1991 when a storm killed 143,000 in neighbouring Bangladesh.
