Description: This image was made with a combination of visible and infra-red light (green, short-wave infra-red, and near infra-red). This image shows the park as it had been for many years. Dense stands of tall, straight pine trees covered the high, volcanic plateau. The old forest is dark green in the image. The summertime forest is broken up by bright green, grassy river meadows and the occasional brush and grass plain, lighter green and tan. Mineral-rich geyser fields are pale blue and white, and lakes are dark blue.
