Northern Arizona and the Grand Canyon are captured in this pair of
MISR images from December 31, 2000 (Terra orbit 5525). The left-hand
image is a true color view from the nadir (vertical) camera. The right-hand
image is a stereo composite generated using data from MISR's vertical and
46-degree-forward cameras. Viewing the stereo image in 3-D requires
the use of red/blue glasses with the red filter placed over your left eye.
To facilitate stereo viewing, the images have been oriented with north
at the left.
In addition to the Grand Canyon itself, which is visible in the western (lower)half of the images, other landmarks include Lake Powell, on the left, and Humphreys Peak and Sunset Crater National Monument on the right. Meteor
Crater appears as a small dark depression with a brighter rim, and is just
visible along the upper right-hand edge. Can you find it?
