An impressive image of the entire African continent that depicts terrain
elevations was created by scientists at the U.S. Geological Survey's EROS Data
Center (EDC) in South Dakota.   For information on obtaining that image, folks
can call EDC Customer Services at 605-594-6151.   Other examples of
satellite-derived images can be seen by way of the EDC home  page at
<http://edcwww.cr.usgs.gov/eros-home.html>
 
Hope something useful turns up.

Subject: satellite image of africa
 
 
 
Greetings maps-l,
 
 
We have a member of the Art faculty searching for a satellite image of the
continent of Africa.
 
His plan is to enlarge it so it covers most of a wall in an exhibit hall.
He wants the image to be more than an "overhead shot".  Preferably
something that shows "depth" of the continent.
 
If anyone has any suggestions I would be grateful.  Sounds like and
excellent idea, if we can find the image to begin with.
 
Much thanks.
