Title : Oahu, HI

Caption :

This 60 by 55 km scene shows almost the entire island of Oahu, Hawaii on June 3, 2000. Bands 2, 3, and 1 are displayed in red, green and blue, making the vegetation appear green. Oahu is the commercial center of Hawaii and is important to United States defense in the Pacific. Pearl Harbor naval base is situated here. The chief agricultural industries are the growing and processing of pineapples and sugarcane. Tourism also is important to the economy. Among the many popular beaches is the renowned Waikiki Beach, backed by the famous Diamond Head, an extinct volcano. The largest community, Honolulu, is the state capital.
