Australia, topographic map
Australia, topographic map. Highlands and lowlands of the continents are shown as ridges and flat areas. Southeast Asia (top left), New Zealand (lower right) and Antarctica (bottom right, white) are also seen, along with the South Pacific Ocean and its various islands (upper right). The seabed depth varies from shallow (light blue) on the continental shelves to deep ocean basins (dark blue). Topographic and bathymetric data is usually gathered by using aerial and satellite imagery combined with radar and sonar mapping. The satellites in this case were NOas POES satellites

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the topographic map of Australia, revealing its diverse landscapes and geographical features. The image not only highlights the highlands and lowlands of the continent but also provides a glimpse of neighboring regions such as Southeast Asia, New Zealand, and Antarctica. The South Pacific Ocean with its numerous islands can be seen in the upper right corner. The varying shades of blue represent the seabed depth, ranging from shallow waters on continental shelves to deep ocean basins. To gather this detailed topographic and bathymetric data, a combination of aerial and satellite imagery along with radar and sonar mapping techniques were utilized. In this case, NOas POES satellites played a crucial role in capturing accurate information. This print is an excellent representation of how technology has revolutionized our understanding of Earth's physical geography. It serves as a reminder that advancements in satellite imaging have enabled us to explore even the most remote corners of our planet. With its intricate details and comprehensive mapping, this image offers valuable insights into Australia's landforms while encompassing broader perspectives on regional geography. Science Photo Library has once again provided us with an awe-inspiring visual that celebrates both scientific exploration and our planet's natural beauty.
