This image of the Nasca plain in southern Peru was acquired by the Compact High Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (CHRIS) instrument aboard ESA's Proba spacecraft on 26 September 2003. It shows desert roads as well as faint traces of the largest of the ancient Nasca Lines etched by Peruvian indians on the arid landscape. Water channels caused by flash flooding are also visible.
