Photo #: STS028-73-39 Date: Aug. 1989 Geographic Region: USA-ALASKA Feature: REVILLAGIGEDO ISLAND |
STS028-073-039 Revillagigedo Island, Alaska, U.S.A August 1989 Part of the southern Alaskan panhandle is discernible in this photograph. Snow accentuates the ridge lines and peaks in the higher elevations. A small glacier can be seen in the lower-right corner. The light blue water of the Behm Canal, which separates Revillagigedo Island from the mainland of North America, is created by "rock-flour" sediment that is the result of glacial erosion. The Portland Canal, visible at the bottom of the photograph, forms part of the U.S.-Canada border. |
