NISAR Views Mount St. Helens

This false-color radar view presents Mount St. Helens as a dense formation of violet, indigo, and dark green set within the yellow-green forests of Washington State. The volcano occupies the lower-right part of the composition, while lakes, river channels, ridges, clearings, and debris paths extend across the wider landscape.

Captured by the NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar mission, NISAR, the image translates radar observations into a vivid study of terrain, vegetation, water, and surface structure. Its unusual palette gives the landscape an almost abstract character while retaining the precision of a scientific Earth-observation image.
