The area of interest is pointed out on the satellite image with a yellow arrow.

This example shows a lake that drained suddenly into the Old Crow River during 1992 or 1993. The two Satellite Images on the left were obtained on June 30, 1990 (equalization enhancement of TM band 4,5,3 composite), and on July 27, 1994. The aerial photograph was taken in late July 1994.
