On July 4, 2025, clear skies over the East Coast allowed #NOAA21 to capture this view!. This barrier island is a destination for a spectacular event once a year on the last Wednesday of July. What is it called? https://t.co/68Vi3xebrw

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!

Today we are featuring this lake that was captured by our #NOAA21 🛰️ as it passed overhead on Nov. 17, 2025.
It is the remnants of an ancient glacial lake and the largest lake located entirely in Wisconsin. It is also a popular fishing spot for bluegill, walleye and largemouth bass.

On January 12, 2026, #NOAA21 captured this area, which was formed by a significant geological event located in Tennessee. A plate tectonic uplift pushed the rock layers up, causing them to crack. Over millions of years, wind and water slowly eroded the higher, cracked rocks faster than the surrounding flatter areas forming a basin.
