On July 22, 2025, #NOAA21 saw this small circular complex of eroded lava domes that rise above California's Sacramento Valley. Together, these remnants of a volcano that has been dormant for ~1.4 million years are referred to as the world's smallest mountain range.

On August 1, 2025, #NOAA21 captured this bay in Alaska that is fed by 2 rivers. At low tide, extensive intertidal habitat is exposed, which supports thousands of shorebirds. The birds use the peninsula’s lagoons to replenish energy reserves before departing for non-stop flights across the Gulf of Alaska.

On August 2, 2025, #NOAA20 captured this freshwater lake, which means "big water" in the Seminole Indian language. The bright color of the lake in this image is caused by a phenomenon called “sun glint”—sunlight reflecting off water at the same angle a satellite views it. Sun glint can also occur from sunlight reflecting off the ocean and even rivers!

On August 11, 2025, #NOAA21 captured this sapphire of a freshwater lake, known as the "Caribbean of the Rockies" due to its unique color caused by limestone deposits. It's over 250,000 years old and formed by tectonic activity. https://t.co/KBtpMS8Xjs

It's #WhereInTheWorld Wednesday, and the #NOAA21 🛰️ had a clear view of this beautiful Alaskan lake on Aug. 17, which is the largest on the state's Kenai Peninsula.
With a maximum depth of 950 feet, the lake is very deep. Its icy blue appearance also gives an indication of its temperature—a chilly 45 degrees F on average!
