Title: SIR-B image of Montreal from STS 41-G
Description:
False-color image showing Montreal, Quebec, Canada, and was acquired by the
Shuttle Imaging Radar-B (SIR-B) during STS 41-G. The St. lawrence River
dominates the right portion of the photo. Several bridges cossing the river
are visible. Pink and blue areas are generally buildings or pavement. Light
green areas regions of natural vegetation; darker green areas are generally
cultivated regions. A race track like structure is apparent at top left.
The Riviere des Milles Illes and the Riviere des Prairies (left and right,
respectively), join to form a U-shaped waterway at the center of the image.
The large elliptical green-centered feature west of the St. Lawrence is Mt.
Royal.
