Images & Animations Playing with EO images helps see our world in a new light

Made with DEA Surface Reflectance, this image shows one of the first Landsat 8 images acquired over Australia. It highlights mangroves and estuarine eddies of the Cambridge Gulf, on the north coast of Western Australia's Kimberley region. What makes this image unique is that it combines different bands to display the variability in the land and water respectively. Water within the scene is represented using a combination of the narrow blue, green and red bands, and the land is represented using a combination of shortwave infra red, near infra red and green bands.
