PIX4675459: Great Barrier Reef in Australia from satellite - The Great Barrier Reef in Australia from satellite - The world's largest coral reef that extends off Queensland, Australia, seen by Envisat satellite on 18 May 2008. This Envisat satellite image features one of the natural wonders of the world - the Great Barrier Reef in the Coral Sea off the east coast of Queensland, Australia. Australian researchers have discovered that Envisat's Medium Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MERIS) sensor can detect coral bleaching down to 10 m deep. This means Envisat could potentially map coral bleaching on a global scale. MERIS acquired this image on 18 May 2008, working in Full Resolution mode to yield a spatial resolution of 300 m / 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

It's quite close to the highest volcano in the world, Ojos del Salado. The color of the lake comes from algae that live in it.

PIX4676412: Galapagos Islands - Galapagos Islands seen by satellite - Galapagos Islands volcanoes seen by Landsat satellite - 7 on 16 October 2001. From left to right, Fernandina Island, Isabela Island (with volcanoes Wolf, Darwin and Alcedo), and Santiago Island. North of the Galapagos' largest island, Isabela, where several volcanos appear. From the top to bottom are volcano Wolf, ranking among the archipelago's most active volcanoes, Darwin and Alcedo. To the left of Isabela is Fernandina island, at right is Santiago island. Nasa's Landsat 7 satellite captured this true - color image on October 16, 2001 / Bridgeman Images
