Expedition 1: Eye in the Sky Images of urban areas taken from space give us a new perspective on geography and human activity. In this activity, you interpret images of Tokyo Bay and San Francisco Bay from space and make maps that show key features in these bay areas. Begin this expedition by accessing the images of Tokyo Bay and San Francisco Bay from space. When the image you have selected comes full screen, take time to interpret what you are seeing. If possible, use regional maps and/or a print atlas to assist you in identifying key geographic features. Use the following procedure to construct a map based on the image.
After completing your sketch, take time to clean up the map and highlight certain features. Add color and symbols to enhance understanding. Complete the activity by writing a short narrative describing the image from space. Call attention to some of the features you have labeled on your map and explain their significance.
