I vacillated a bit before posting this image. There's also a cool image of the eruption of Anatahan Island in the Pacific taken from the Space Station at the Earth Observatory link above. As for the picture below, click it to see the large version, which is gorgeous. You can even see some kind of phytoplankton bloom in the Salton Sea, and the Great Salt Lake has a variety of colors.

As for the WhereIsIt?, in the first reply below I've reposted the URL. Nobody figured this one out yet!

"Where is it?"

You mean the big red thing? Um, south of El Centro, maybe around a known geothermal area?

50 percent of American students cant find America on the map.

It's the western hemisphere of the Earth?

It's not THIS image, it's in the URL in reply 1 (from myself).

[cogitator]

See reply 1; click that link for the unanswered WhereIsIt?
challenge.

[cogitator]

Click the link in reply 1. The WhereIsIt? is at the bottom
of the images.

[cogitator]

Keep scrolling down for the WhereIsIt? image, and also look
at the replies.

Yes, but you may be looking at the wrong image. Go to this URL: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/910003/posts

and scroll down to the bottom image (after the spring thaw images of the lake in Kazakhstan). Also scroll down in the replies for a different image of the WhereIsIt? region.

You're added. (Interestingly, Wayne S. Gilchrest is
a Republican representative from my state, Maryland.)

Prudhoe Bay?

Approximately the right latitude, but wrong side of the continent.

Mt Asgaard. Mt Asgaard is one of the most recognizable features in the Park. It is surrounded by glaciers, but can easily be reached with a bit of caution later in August when the snow has receded and exposed the crevasses, so that one can safely go around them.
