This satellite image map is the most accurate and up to date such map available today. The land imagery is based on data collected by NASA's MODIS satellite instrumentation in August 2004. Polar sea ice is based on a combination of sources including MODIS data.
Thousands of the continent's physical features such as the Grand Canyon, Arizona and the enormous Manicouagan crater in Quebec can be clearly identified.
