Australia
Australia. Coloured optical and infrared, Landsat satellite image of the island continent of Australia. North is at top. The interior is mostly arid land or desert, with a complex geology shown in varying shades of brown and orange. Green areas along the coast show the presence of vegetation. The island of Tasmania is seen at lower right. The prominent Cape York Peninsula (upper right) lies to the right of the Gulf of Carpentaria. The continent covers an area of over 7.5 million square kilometres. This image has been constructed as a mosaic of over 1000 separate Landsat images, some showing details of coastal waters (purple).
