Mountains from Space: Peaks And Ranges of the Seven Continents

SUPERANNO Using highly specialized, advanced digital satellite imaging, the German Remote Sensing Data Center has compiled this astounding collection of images of the Earth's mountain ranges over the course of the last five years. Now available to the public for the first time here, the most majestic peaks on all seven continents are visible as they never would be to the naked eye- in views taken from 500 to 15 miles above the Earth that reveal entire mountain ranges at once, unobstructed by clouds, haze, and refraction of light. Mountains from Space is much more than a collection of extraordinary pictures; it is a serious work of nonfiction.
