Dead Sea, 1989 satellite image C014 / 4707
Dead Sea. False-colour satellite image of the Dead Sea. North is at top. Deep waters are blue or dark blue, while brighter blues indicate shallow waters or salt ponds (in the south). The pale pink and sand-colored regions are barren desert landscapes, while green indicates sparsely vegetated lands. Denser vegetation appears bright red. The Dead Sea is located in the Jordan Rift Valley and borders Jordan, Israel, and the West Bank. It is one of the worlds saltiest bodies of water. In recent decades, the sea has been shrinking due to diversion of water from the Jordan River, the seas main tributary. Near the centre is the Lisan Peninsula, which forms a land bridge through the Dead Sea. Imaged by the Thematic Mapper on the Landsat 4 satellite, on 27th

EDITORS COMMENTS
This satellite image, taken by the Thematic Mapper on the Landsat 4 satellite in August 1989, showcases the mesmerizing beauty and environmental significance of the Dead Sea. The photograph offers a false-color representation, with deep waters appearing as shades of blue or dark blue, while brighter blues indicate shallow waters or salt ponds located towards the south. The barren desert landscapes are depicted in pale pink and sand-colored regions, whereas sparsely vegetated lands are represented by green hues. Denser vegetation stands out brightly in red tones. The Dead Sea itself is nestled within the Jordan Rift Valley and borders Jordan, Israel, and the West Bank. Renowned for its extreme salinity levels, it ranks among one of Earth's saltiest bodies of water. Over recent decades, however, this iconic sea has been shrinking due to water diversion from its main tributary - the Jordan River. Notably featured near the center of this image is the Lisan Peninsula which forms a land bridge across this unique body of water. As we gaze upon this extraordinary snapshot captured from space by NASA/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY's lens, we are reminded not only of our planet's breathtaking natural wonders but also of our responsibility to protect these fragile ecosystems for future generations.
