    • Description

      The Grand Canyon, one of the seven natural wonders of the world, is featured in this image, acquired by Envisat's Medium Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MERIS) instrument on 10 May 2009. The canyon (the rock-like formation stretching across the centre of the image in hues of pink, violet and gray), is located in the U.S. state of Arizona. Also visible in the image are the Colorado Plateau (upper right corner), the Mogollon Plateau (dark area under Colorado Plateau), Lake Meade (Y-shaped water body left of the canyon), Las Vegas, Nevada (bright white and blue area left of Lake Meade) and the southern tip of Utah (upper left).
