True-color image of Lake Balkhash in Kazakhstan. The image was acquired on 8 April 2019 by the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) instrument, aboard the joint NASA/NOAA Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (Suomi NPP) satellite. Use the comparison feature to view the area with other band combinations such as the false-color combination of VIIRS Bands M3-I3-M11 (on the right), where lake ice appears in bright red and is differentiated from water, which will appear very dark in the image.
