ISS021-E-15710 Pearl Harbor, Hawaii
- Image Science & Analysis Laboratory, NASA Johnson Space Center, Expedition 21
- Derivative work including removal of dust spots, grading.: Julian Herzog
A comparison between this image and a 2003 astronaut photograph of Pearl Harbor suggests that little observable land use or land cover change has occurred in the area over the past six years. The most significant difference is the presence of more naval vessels in the Reserve Fleet anchorage in Middle Loch (image center). The urban areas of Waipahu, Pearl City, and Aliamanu border the harbor to the northwest, north, and east. The built-up areas, recognizable by linear streets and white rooftops, contrast sharply with the reddish volcanic soils and green vegetation on the surrounding hills.
