12 May 2004
Description:
This Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) multitemporal colour composite image is
centred over most of The Netherlands. Precisely in the centre of the image is the city of
Amsterdam (bright area). Zooming in very much detail of the city may be observed, such as
the 90 islands that make up the city and are divided by canals crossed by hundreds of
picturesque bridges. The waterways of the city have their origin in IJsselmeer and the
Amstel and IJ rivers.
