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. |
