Image Caption:
S43-84-29 - Orlando, Florida

The area covered by this photograph includes Disneyworld at the
top center, near the city of Orlando, Florida. The top of the
photograph is west. The crescent-shaped Lake Lohopetaliga is near
the left bottom. The large round lakes are beliwved to fill an-
cient sinkholes, formed during glacial stages when ocean levels
were several hundred feet lower than present. Linear patterns in
the right side of the view are ancient beach ridges, formed dur-
ing periods of interglacial high sea level stand. Hasselblad
camera, 250mm lens, x GMT




Much of central Florida, including this detailed view of Orlando (28.5N, 81.0W) can be seen in this single photo. Disney World is at the top center of the scene and the crescent shaped Lake Tohopekaliga is near the bottom. The large round lakes are believed to be sinkholes formed during glacial times when ocean levels were several hundred feet lower than the present. Linear patterns east of Orlando are thought to be ancient shoreline ridges.
