Unveiling the Radar Beauty of Banff National Park

2021-06-23 - This montage features several glacial lakes at Banff National Park in Alberta’s Canadian Rockies, including the iconic Lake Louise (bottom left corner). TRE ALTAMIRA’s Geidy Baldeon, Sato Oi, Jacopo Allievi and Giacomo Falorni were inspired to use both optical (true colour) and radar (black and white) images to portray the raw beauty of an emblematic Canadian landmark.

We challenged 13 organizations from across the country to create stunning satellite images that showcase the natural beauty of a region in each of Canada's territories and provinces — not a typical order for companies used to treating satellite data for scientific or commercial use.
