Summary
[edit]DescriptionWhitsunday Islands, Queensland, Australia.jpg |
English: This scene is dominated by the largest island and namesake of the chain. Deep green forest covers most of Whitsunday Island, which is outlined by brilliant white sand beaches, the largest and most dramatic being Whitehaven Beach at the south-eastern end of the island. On Hamilton Island, the strong linear feature at the southern end shows where a jet-accessible runway was added to allow airlines from major Australian cities to fly directly to the islands. The swirls of pale blue around the islands show a mix of sandy bottom waters and shallow, fringing coral reefs. The green land in the south-western corner of the image is a small section of Conway Ranges National Park, on the shoreline of mainland Queensland.
Deutsch: Dieses photoähnliche Bild des Kerns der Whitsunday Islands wurde am 22. Mai 2003 mit dem Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+) des Landsat 7 erstellt. Das Bild wird von der größten Insel und Namensgeberin für die gesamte Inselgruppe dominiert. Den größtem Teil der Whitsunday Island bedecken tiefgrüne Wälder, die von brillanten weißen Sandstränden eingerahmt werden – der größte unter ihnen ist Whitehaven Beach im Südosten der Insel. |
