Guadalupe Island- cypress grove
Untitled Document
February 11, 2004
Over 170 separate digital images from 7 aircraft passes over Guadalupe Island, off the west coast of the Baja California peninsula, Mexico, were stitched together on a computer to produce the false-color mosaic from which this small image was cut. The infra-red sensor system used to collect this data records the reflected red, near-InfraRed and thermal-InfraRed light. In this early afternoon image, vegetation is shown in bright green and the warmer bare rock areas are in blue and magenta.
The fluffy green spots in this image comprise one of the last remaining groves of Guadalupe Cypress. The relic grove is on the highest elevation of the island.
