The EM302 gives us a high-resolution “birds eye” view of large areas. What we see underwater is similar to what we see around us every day. In this image, a panorama of mountains and volcanoes sits majestically near a massive river delta surrounded by a soft sand beach. Since what we see here is actually underwater, there are of course no rivers, river deltas, or mountains and sand bars, but seeing these features makes you wonder how an area like this was formed.
