While poking around the NASA Earth Observatory website I came across a page for the the Top 10 Images of the Day. The Top 10 Images page is part of NASA Earth Observatory's 10th Anniversary celebration. The website began on April 29, 1999.
Ranked third among those "Top 10" images is Atafu Atoll, which has been among the most visited postings here at Signs From Earth. Perhaps more pictures and less writing are what the visitors seek...
Ranked second is this amazing 2002 satellite image (above) of sands in the Bahamas. From the description: "...Tides and ocean currents in the Bahamas sculpted the sand and seaweed beds into these multicolored, fluted patterns in much the same way that winds sculpted the vast sand dunes in the Sahara Desert.."
It is a good posting. I like it. It's pretty much impressive.
