EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the breathtaking beauty of Manicouagan reservoir in Quebec, Canada, as seen from space. The frozen expanse of this remarkable reservoir appears pristine white against the backdrop of Earth's surface. What makes this sight even more extraordinary is the fact that it fills an ancient impact crater, measuring a staggering 100 kilometers in diameter. The origins of this awe-inspiring formation can be traced back to a cataclysmic event that occurred approximately 212 million years ago when a colossal meteorite collided with our planet. This impact left behind an indelible mark on the landscape, creating what we now know as Manicouagan reservoir. As we gaze upon this photograph taken during the STS-110 space shuttle mission on April 18th, 2002, we are reminded of both the power and fragility of our world. The icy grip that holds these waters captive serves as a reminder of nature's ability to transform and shape our environment over millions of years. Intriguingly, at its heart lies the Manicouagan river meandering through its frozen surroundings like a lifeline connecting past and present. This image not only captures Canada's stunning geography but also symbolizes resilience amidst harsh conditions. Taken by Science Photo Library for scientific observation purposes rather than commercial use, this print invites us to marvel at the wonders hidden within our own planet while igniting curiosity about worlds beyond our reach.
