The Best of LANDSAT 8

Wired features photos from NASA's LANDSAT 8.  My favorite:


A large iceberg breaks off of Antarctica's Pine Island glacier in this image taken by Landsat 8 on Nov. 13, 2013. The berg was dubbed B-31 and was estimated to be 21 by 12 miles across. (More info and high resolution version)  HOLLI RIEBEEK, NASA/USGS
Just to put that in perspective, 21 by 12 miles across is half the size of my county, or over 160,000 acres.

Another one of my favorites here.
