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 December 24, 2025, #NOAA20 captured this bay where freshwater mixes for many miles with the saltwater of the Atlantic Ocean. It is approximately 782 square miles in area and has had many names in its history, including Godyn's Bay, South Bay and Zuyt Baye.

On January 13, 2026, #NOAA21 captured this freshwater lake in South Carolina, which was man-made and completed in 1930. This body of water spans approximately 50,000 acres, stretches 41 miles in length and reaches up to 14 miles wide at its broadest point.

On January 15, 2026, #NOAA21 captured this wild area, which is located in Cajun Country, Louisiana. This conservation is over 15,000 acres of forest and bald cypress tupelo swamp habitats, and is a good place to spot an alligator--Louisiana's state reptile! 🐊

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.

This dark brown mountain range just east of Albuquerque is a popular spot for hiking and camping during the warmer months—and the highest peaks top 10,000 ft. in elevation!

This river is the largest and longest river that runs through South Dakota. Pierre, the state capital, is located on its east bank near the geographic center of the state.

This freshwater lake between Lake Huron and Lake Erie, seen via #NOAA21 on March 9, 2026, lies between Michigan and the Canadian province of Ontario.
Known as the "Heart of the Great Lakes," it has an average depth of 11 feet, but both countries maintain a deeper shipping channel through it. It also hosts one of the largest sport fisheries in the world.

This desert lake in California, seen by #NOAA21 on March 11, 2026, is extremely salty with highly alkaline water. Despite this, it supports a thriving ecosystem, where tiny brine shrimp and alkali flies feed on green algae. In turn, migratory birds depend on them as a vital food source.

This reservoir, captured by the #NOAA21 🛰️ on Feb. 27, was created in 1969 by damming the Rio Grande River and is also fed by the Devils River. Today, it’s jointly managed by the U.S. and Mexico for flood control, water supply, recreation, and hydroelectric power.

On April 18, 2026, the #NOAA20🛰️engaged in a staring contest with this eye-shaped lake. It also happens to be the deepest lake in the United States, with a depth of nearly 2,000 feet. To add to all the whimsy, the “pupil” is known as Wizard Island!

On April 21, 2026, the #NOAA21 🛰️ captured an image of this lake. It has been dry for most of recorded history, and was once connected to two other lakes during the Late Pleistocene. Though no one has seen that ancient body of water in modern times, geologists call it Lake Bonneville.
