Students explored several locations around the world through space shuttle photographs. The images are accompanied by descriptions of various landmarks visible in the photograph. Students sketch the photos and label their pictures with all of the landmarks. Above is Krakitoa Volcano.

Above is an image of the Dead Sea and its evaporation ponds which produce evaporative minerals (salts).

At left is Mount Everest (directly under the arrow) in the Himalayan Mountain Chain. At right is the Grand Canyon during the winter. The snow on the Kaibab plateau makes it easier for our eyes and brains to accept it as a canyon. In some images of the Grand Canyon where there is no snow, many people perceive the canyon as a chain of mountains.
