Description of this image on the NASA Earth Observatory page: "Satellites offer an even loftier view. On April 20, 2016, the Operational Land Imager (OLI) on Landsat 8 captured this view of the water gap from an altitude of about 700 kilometers (430 miles). While spring warming has cast the valleys in green, the cooler tops of the ridges remained brown."
