This Envisat image highlights the Canadian province of Nova Scotia, located on
the eastern seaboard of North America. The province is made up of a mainland
peninsula and Cape Breton Island (located to the east).
Nova Scotia is one of Canadas three Maritime provinces along with New Brunswick (visible in the upper left hand corner) and Prince Edward Island (visible to the east of New Brunswick, partially cloud-covered).
Nova Scotia is one of Canadas three Maritime provinces along with New Brunswick (visible in the upper left hand corner) and Prince Edward Island (visible to the east of New Brunswick, partially cloud-covered).
The Gulf of St. Lawrence is visible
above Prince Edward Island, and the Northumberland Strait is visible between New
Brunswick and Prince Edward Island. The Atlantic Ocean is visible to the south
and east of the peninsula, and the Bay of Fundy is visible between the peninsula
and New Brunswick.
With an area of 55 284 sq km, Nova Scotia is Canadas second smallest province, after Prince Edward Island. The main peninsula is 550-km long and has 7500 km of coastline. Because the province is not more than 130 km wide, no place in Nova Scotia is far from the sea.
This image was acquired by Envisat's Medium Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MERIS) instrument on 22 October 2007, working in Full Resolution mode to provide a spatial resolution of 300 metres.
