I just noticed that you can also see the San Francisco Peaks in the full-size Grand Canyon image (lower right).

one of the largest calderas in the world and certainly the largest in the U.S
Nice photos. Is this caldera larger than the Yellowstone caldera? I thought Yellowstone's was the second largest in the world, next to one in India.

I know they got alot of rain out there last week (when Vegas got all that flooding)...maybe it is runoff into a dry lake bed?

"...In the larger version, to the west of the lower Grand Canyon and southeast of Lake Mohave and a small mountain range, there's a flat light-brown patch..."
That is a playa, flooded by runoff from recent rains.

Does anyone know what that is, or is it an image artifact? Send it to Richard Hoagland at Enterprise Mission. I'm sure he'll have an, er, interesting explanation.
