Description: The Advanced Land Imager (ALI) on NASA’s Earth Observing-1 satellite captured this true-color image of the Joggins Fossil Cliffs region. The fossil cliffs trace a curving line through the middle of this image, with Cumberland Basin in the west and a small village in the east. Sunlight and sediment color the water of Cumberland Basin pastel. On land, colors vary from deep green vegetation to brown bare rock to gray paved surfaces. Roads cut crooked lines through the landscape. The cliffs appear gray-beige, giving way to buff color nearest the water.
