Babilonstoring Mountains, South Africa, Perspective View, Landsat Image over SRTM Elevation. This perspective view is generated from a Landsat satellite image and elevation data from the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM). The perspective is computer generated, combining a photograph with elevation data collected using radar. This Landsat and SRTM perspective view uses a 2-times vertical exaggeration to enhance topographic expression. The back edges of the data sets form a false horizon and a false sky was added. Colors of the scene were enhanced by image processing but are the natural color band combination from the Landsat satellite.
