Description: False-color image of w:Teshekpuk Lake (left side of image) and the w:Alaska North Slope. Green indicates vegetation and blue indicates water. Some bodies of water also appear in off-white or yellowish, probably due to different amounts of sediment in the water and/or the sun angle. The Beaufort Sea is at the top of the scene. The image covers an area of 58.7 by 89.9 kilometers, and is centered near 70.4 degrees North latitude, 153 degrees West longitude.
