A satellite picture of a residential area featuring circular clusters of houses arranged in a winding pattern, surrounded by water canals. The design resembles islands connected by internal roads, with traditional grid-like neighborhoods and larger buildings surrounding the central serpentine layout.

Relative elevation model. Shows meanders and quite a few former river bends over a roughly 40-50 km wide floodplain. Purple upstream to blue downstream.

I've been fooled by my eyes then, thanks for the precision

Sentinel-2 is still in winter mode over the area, no images yet. This one is from March 13, Level-1 Tonemapped Natural Color. link.dataspace.copernicus.eu/1w5c

The area is very different looking depending on the seasons yes ! I saw some winter pictures by going through the archive from Google Earth and there was what I assume is a large landing strip drawn on top of the sea, which was totally frozen over, of course

HiPOD: Layers Blanket a Crater Floor

This image shows a layered rock formation within Jiji Crater that has eroded into buttes and stair-like layers. Our image also indicates that much of the formation has eroded away relative to what has remained.
