Juneau Icefield
This image also provides a clear view of the Juneau Icefield. Several glaciers flow from this icefield, and glaciologists are using the 42-year Landsat archive to monitor the advance and retreat of the glaciers over time.

Enhanced Landsat 8 Image of Western Australia
This image is a portion of the first Landsat 8 scene acquired May 12, 2013 (Path 107, Rows 70-71) in Western Australia. Geoscience Australia, a Landsat International Cooperator and a Landsat Science Team member, produced this enhanced image. Water and land were masked, separately enhanced, and then reassembled.

Landsat 7 Path 38 Row 31, Acquired March 29, 2013
On March 29-30, 2013, the Landsat Data Continuity Mission (later named Landsat 8) was in position under the Landsat 7 satellite. This provided opportunities for near-coincident data collection from both satellites.

Boulder, Colorado - Landsat 8
Landsat 8’s first image captured the area where the Great Plains and Rocky Mountains meet in Colorado in March 2013. The natural-color image shows the coniferous forest of the mountains coming down to the dormant plains. Boulder, Colorado, sits in the middle of the image.

Landsat 5 Captures MSS Data
The Multispectral Scanner (MSS) on board Landsat 5 satellite captured imagery of the southern Louisiana coastline on April 10, 2012, after the sensor was turned back on after being off for nearly a dozen years. This image is a portion of the scene from WRS-2 Path 23 Row 40. The MSS sensor collected nearly 15,000 scenes from 2012 to January 7, 2013.

Tuscaloosa-Birmingham Tornado Scar, April 2011
The roughly west-east trail of destruction from the April 27, 2011, Tuscaloosa-Birmingham tornado is clearly visible in these Landsat images. This was one of 358 recorded tornadoes during the April 25-28, 2011, tornado outbreak, the most severe in U.S. history.
