Yellowknife Wetlands
Image taken 7/3/2001

Extensive wetlands lie near the town of Yellowknife, near the Great Slave Lake in northern Canada. The shallow lakes seen in this image have formed in grooves in the landscape that were carved by glaciers during the last Ice Age.

 

Yellowknife Wetlands can be found on Landsat 7 WRS Path 45 Row 16, center: 62.86, -111.97.
