Bahama Banks
No (and for other reasons), and the source links to a map, not to an image. Where does this image come from? Where can we find it on the web? -- Basile Morin (talk) 02:01, 6 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
You can't find it on the web. The source I added is where I download the raw satellite data then use QGIS to make it look normal. I didn't edit the colors, that's just how it looks. ⍨PLib🗣️ 11:39, 6 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Here's a similar version by NASA ⍨PLib🗣️ 11:41, 6 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Top and bottom are of different colors / intensity. Technically wrong, and the original remains a mystery. How can we check? -- Basile Morin (talk) 12:03, 6 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Heres the raw data download link if you want.

The reason I wouldn't support the cropped version is because this content does not impress me as a picture with an extraordinary visual impact. Sorry but I don't find this particular formation awesome. Not all Google satellite captures are spectacular either, to offer a comparison. The strong contrasts are unaesthetic, and the diversity of the colors quite limited. No wow, but it is just my subjectively view, of course. If freely licensed, this image may be educational in some way, but in any case I would suggest to avoid the technically deficient collage -- Basile Morin (talk) 03:06, 7 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
