This image from the European Space Agency's Sentinel-2A satellite offers a breathtaking view of Crater Lake National Park in southern Oregon. It offers something equally important to park managers, scientists, and anyone else interested in land cover change—a view that is highly similar and complementary to Landsat acquisitions.

From the Sinnott Memorial Overlook webcam, 7,100 feet above sea level, you can view Wizard Island, Llao Rock, and at times you can see Mount Thielsen outside the park. Note: Up to 50% of the time in the winter the webcam is obscured by snow and clouds. The webcam updates every 10 minutes.
