This is an amazing site. A map of the world appears on the left side where you can position your cursor on any spot on the earth and then zoom in for a closer look. Or, and this is even better. From the pull down menu above the map, select ImageLinks and then press go. On the left side a series of real satellite images (thumbnails)pop up which you can enlarge by clicking on the image. There is also a link to the CIA fact book for the area you selected and others. This is a really interesting site!!
