Some #MapSurfing for #TextureTuesday... This time assorted satellite images from Katmai National Park in Alaska, specifically the delta at Iliuk Arm Naknek Lake (continuation of the Valley of 10000 Smokes)

Looks like we’re now polluting space with satellites so much that stuff is just washing up on beaches. Great.
Here’s another for your collection
