Double views from ERS tandem mission adding depth to Canadian wilderness maps
Unique views of Earth afforded by a pioneering twin ESA radar satellite flight has brought an extra dimension to maps of Canada's newest territory, the results winning praise from the Canadian government. Full story at: http://www.esa.int/esaEO/SEMDKSLVGJE_economy_0.html -------------------- "After having some business dealings with men, I am occasionally chagrined,
and feel as if I had done some wrong, and it is hard to forget the ugly circumstance. I see that such intercourse long continued would make one thoroughly prosaic, hard, and coarse. But the longest intercourse with Nature, though in her rudest moods, does not thus harden and make coarse. A hard, sensible man whom we liken to a rock is indeed much harder than a rock. From hard, coarse, insensible men with whom I have no sympathy, I go to commune with the rocks, whose hearts are comparatively soft." - Henry David Thoreau, November 15, 1853 |

This Envisat image is focused over the Patagonia Plateau in Argentina and
southern Chile, and shows the snow-capped Andes mountain range which forms a natural boundary between the two countries. More at: http://www.esa.int/esaEO/SEML8FMVGJE_index_0.html -------------------- "After having some business dealings with men, I am occasionally chagrined,

Satellite images acquired by ESA’s ERS-2 revealed the recently discovered
changes in Yellowstone’s caldera are the result of molten rock movement 15 kilometres below Earth’s surface, according to a recent study published in Nature.
