Earth from Space - Image Description

STS068-232-026 Cleveland, Akron, Canton, and Youngstown, Ohio, U.S.A. October 1994
Much of northeast Ohio is apparent in this north-northwest-looking, low-oblique photograph--Lake Erie from just east of Sandusky to near Geneva; metropolitan Cleveland; Akron, Massillon, and Canton south of Cleveland; and Warren and Youngstown (bottom right). The light blue waters of Mosquito Creek Lake are visible just north of Warren. The land patterns of northeast Ohio resemble those of the deforested regions of Rondonia in the upper Amazon River Basin of Brazil (reference photograph STS046-078-026).
