http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danube_Delta#Distributaries_of_the_Danube

“Chilia, in the north, the longest, youngest, and most vigorous, with two secondary internal deltas and one microdelta in full process of formation at its mouth (to Ukraine).”

It is the largest in all Europe.The Dolphin feature like rocky feature is clearly visible overlooking lacul (lake) Piaulet and Lacul Macovei and the Danube Sulina Branch and the Dunarea branch which is the larger stream discharging into the distributaries draining into The Black Sea-the coast on this image.

The entire stretch of Dunarea as depicted here is the border between Ukraine to the North and Romania to the South. The riverside town opposite the dolphin like feature’s “nose” is Vylkove in Ukraine. The straight banks of the main stream here seem to me to be as result of training to avoid river meanders that would slow the river and cause flooding in the urban settlement.
