The Art of Remote Sensing
Image: Ribbon

This image shows an area in southeastern Utah where the Green River joins the Colorado River above Lake Powell and the San Juan River. The many canyons created by smaller streams and the meandering paths of the Green and Colorado rivers create a spectacular view that has fractal-like qualities. The round feature near the top of this image between the two rivers is Upheaval Dome, a 60 million year old impact crater. Much of this region is part of Canyonlands National Park.

The area covered by this image is approximately 38x34 miles. A full-resolution crop of the image file is available here that shows the detail present in the full image print.
