EDITORS COMMENTS
This breathtaking print captures the awe-inspiring view of the Great Lakes from space. Stretching across the USA-Canada border, these magnificent bodies of water cover an astonishing area of nearly 250,000 square kilometres, making them the largest expanse of fresh water on our planet. The image showcases Lake Michigan at the upper centre, with its majestic counterpart Lake Superior appearing above and to its left. As we explore this mesmerizing snapshot further, we notice that Lakes Huron, Ontario, and Erie are partially concealed by a veil of clouds to the right of Lake Michigan. This ethereal composition was captured by NASA's space shuttle Discovery during mission STS-105 in August 2001. From their orbital vantage point high above Earth's surface, astronauts were able to witness this extraordinary natural wonder firsthand. The significance of this photograph extends beyond its aesthetic appeal; it serves as a testament to our planet's diverse geography and highlights North America's stunning landscapes. Moreover, it reminds us of the delicate balance between human civilization and nature's bounties. This image is brought to you by Science Photo Library—a visual masterpiece that invites us all to appreciate and cherish Earth's remarkable beauty from a perspective few have had the privilege to experience directly.
