PIX4675619: Grande Terre, New Caledonia, view from space - Grande Terre, New Caledonia, seen from space - In July 2008, UNESCO added 27 places to the World Heritage List. The lagoons of New Caledonia are one of them. Satellite image centered on the island of Balabio and Grande-Terre obtained by the Landsat-7 satellite on 10 May 2001. In July 2008, UNESCO added 27 new areas to its list of World Heritage sites. One of those areas included the lagoons of New Caledonia. Some 1,200 kilometers (750 miles) east of Australia, this English - governed archipelago contains the world's third - largest coral reef structure. The coral reefs enclose the waters near the islands in shallow lagoons of impressive biodiversity. On May 10, 2001, the Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus on Nasa's Landsat 7 satellite captured this image of Ile Balabio, off the northern tip of Grande Terra, New Caledonia's main island. In this natural - color image, the islands appear in shades of green and brown - - mixtures of vegetation and bare ground. The surrounding waters range in color from pale aquamarine to deep blue, and the color differences result from varying depths. Over coral reef ridges and sand bars, the water is shallowest and palest in color. Darker shades of blue characterize deeper waters. Reef - enclosed, shallow waters surround Ile Balabio, and a larger, semi-enclosed lagoon appears immediately east of that island. Immediately north of Grande Terra, unenclosed, deeper waters predominate / Bridgeman Images

PIX4675641: Christchurch and the Peninsula of Banks (New Zealand) from space - Christchurch and Banks Peninsula, New Zealand - The Peninsula of Banks and the City of Christchurch seen from the International Space Station (ISS) on August 15, 2006. The Banks Peninsula is an ancient erode volcano forming a peninsula on the east coast of the South Island. Oblique view (the photograph was taken from a side angle) of the city of Christchurch, New Zealand. Snow highlights the peaks of the Banks Peninsula to the southeast of the city. The peninsula has a radically different landscape compared to the adjoining, flat Canterbury Plains, where Christchurch (gray patch to the north) is located. The Banks Peninsula is formed from the overlapping cones of the extinct Lyttelton and Akaroa volcanoes. Subsequent erosion of the cones formed the heavily dissected terrain visible in the image, and sea level rise led to the creation of several harbors around the Peninsula. Erosion continues unabated today, as evidenced by the apron of greenish blue, sediment - laden waters surrounding the Banks Peninsula. Other interesting features in the image include the braided Waimakariri River to the north - northwest of the city, and the greenish brown waters of Lake Ellesmere at image left. The coloration of the water is due both to its shallow depth (1.4 meters on average) and its high concentrations of nitrogen and phosphorus, which fertilizes the growth of large amounts of green algae / Bridgeman Images
