Greek Fire Scars
On the Peloponnesus Peninsula in southwestern Greece severe wildfires burned large tracts of land late this summer (2007). Many satellite images, including Landsat images, were used to create fire maps for disaster response teams.
Cape Henry and the Chesapeake Bay
Land Ho!
Four-hundred years ago, on April 26, 1607, after 144 days at sea, John Smith made landfall on Virginia's Cape Henry. His exploration and careful surveying of the Chesapeake Bay resulted in the first published map of the estuary. See how accurate he is compared to a geocorrected Landsat 7 image of the bay.
