CANADA FROM SPACE, provides a unique and striking perspective on Canada's varied geography. Images are transmitted to earth from orbiting satellites such as the LANDSAT.
These images provide scientists with information on a variety of geographic topics including agricultural crops, forestry, urban land use, glaciation, and environmental or pollution damage. The marriage of digital source information from satellite with computer-enhanced imagery provides a striking product of maps with qualities of abstract art but with the informative nature of a traditional atlas - albeit from an entirely new perspective.
