Title:
Himalayas Exaggerated (Draft)
Instrument:
Terra/MODIS
Description:
A static shot of the Himalaya Mountains showing the final 50x exaggeration.
Abstract:
Satellite photographs (from Terra-MODIS) and computer-generated models help visualize Bangladesh's place in the world. Located in South Asia, it is virtually surrounded by India and the Bay of Bengal to the south. But in many ways, the country's fate is dominated by the world's highest mountain range looming to the north-the Himalayas.
