Longyearbyen, Svalbard,Norway The perspective view was created by draping a simulated natural color image over an ASTER-derived digital elevation model. The image was acquired July 12, 2003, and is located at 78.2 degrees north latitude, 15.6 degrees east longitude. Longyearbyen is the world’s northernmost town

North Coast Mountains, BC N The vertical image (bands 1,2,3) was orthorectified and coloured. The 3B image was left grey and was not orthorectified. When combined into the anaglyph image we manually adjusted them to get a reasonable relief. Colours were designed to maximise geological contrasts.
