Since the 1970s, LANDSAT satellites have provided a beautiful new perspective of the Canadian landscape that infuses life into geography as no map or regular photograph could. The impact of ancient glaciers that scraped the bedrock bare, the sprawl of cities and the disappearance of forests, all come into focus in imagery which is at once art and cartography. Canada from Space provides an unforgettable journey across a nation.
