PIX4675492: Argyle Diamond Mine - Australia - Argyle Diamond Mine - Australia: The Argyle Diamond Mine is a mine located in the Eastern Kimberley region of northern Australia. It is the largest diamond mine in the world in volume terms, although due to the low proportion of quality diamonds, it is not a leader in value. Image taken from the International Space Station (ISS) on 22 June 2006. The Argyle Diamond Mine is a diamond mine located in the East Kimberley region in the remote north of Western Australia. Argyle is the largest diamond producer in the world by volume, although due to the low proportion of gemquality diamonds it is set to close by 2020.

PIX4675653: Auckland Region (New Zealand) satellite view - Auckland, New Zealand - Auckland Region, the largest urban area in New Zealand, in the North Island, viewed by Landsat satellite - 7 August 27, 2002. Auckland, New Zealand's largest city, is located on the country's North Island. Nearly a third of New Zealand's population lives in Auckland - - more than three million people. This natural - color (photo - like) image of Auckland was acquired on August 27, 2002, by Nasa's Landsat 7 satellite. The most densely developed areas appear white and gray, while suburban areas appear grayish green - - a mixture of houses, streets, and lawns. The city spreads out across various peninsulas surrounding Tamaki Strait and other bays and inlets. The city has been built up around the Auckland Volcanic Field; within a 20 - kilometer (12.4 - mile) radius of the heart of the city, there are 49 volcanoes, most of them small cones less than 150 meters (492 feet) high. Many of them have been protected as parks or non - residential development, such as ball fields, and so they stand out as green circles of vegetation against the surrounding gray and white cityscape. Among the largest of the volcanoes is Rangitoto Island, which sits offshore of the city between the waters of Tamaki Strait and Hauraki Gulf. The last eruption in this volcanic field appears to have occurred about 600 years ago. The nature of volcanic activity in the area is different from the subduction - driven volcanism elsewhere on the North Island, such as at Mount Ruapehu. It results from the city's location above a mantle plume, a hot spot about 100 kilometers below ground where temperatures are high enough to melt rock. The melted rock has a low viscosity, and it flows easily up through the overlying rock / Bridgeman Images
