place: MOUNT KILIMANJARO


This dramatic image of Kilimanjaro was made from data acquired from the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM and a Landsat 7 image (both in February 2000). The sky was added. This clearly shows the topography (shape and form) of the mountain, but the vertical scale has been expanded to twice its true height. The view represents a width across of 77 miles, from about 100 miles away.
