Satellite view of the United States East Coast
April 14, 2003 - The eastern half of the United States. Prominent in the image are the mighty Mississippi River and the Appalachian Mountains, two of the most distinctive features in the eastern United States. Scattered throughout the image are a number of fires, which are marked with red dots. Considering that this is the beginning of the spring growing season in North America, the majority of these fires are likely agricultural in nature. Also visible in the image are the brilliant turquoise-blue waters of the Bahamas, which lie southwest of Floridas coast. The beautiful hue of the waters in this area is caused by the relatively clear, shallow waters over the Little and Great Bahama Banks, which are shelves of land that were submerged as the continental glaciers of the last ice age melted

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning satellite view captures the eastern half of the United States, showcasing its diverse and captivating landscape. The mighty Mississippi River snakes through the image, a prominent feature that has shaped the region's history and culture. Alongside it, the majestic Appalachian Mountains rise proudly, their peaks reaching towards the sky. As we explore this aerial perspective further, scattered red dots mark fires dotting the landscape. Given that it is spring in North America during this time, these fires are likely agricultural in nature - a common practice to prepare fields for planting crops. Adding to the visual feast are the brilliant turquoise-blue waters of the Bahamas visible southwest of Florida's coast. This vibrant hue is a result of clear and shallow waters over submerged landmasses known as Little and Great Bahama Banks. The print showcases not only natural wonders but also highlights human impact on our environment. It serves as a reminder of how interconnected our actions are with Earth's delicate ecosystems. Captured from space by Stocktrek Images' camera lens, this breathtaking true-color image invites us to appreciate both the grandeur and fragility of our planet.
