Uploader comment: The skies were clear above New Caledonia on September 24, 2012, allowing the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) aboard the Terra satellite to capture this true-color image of the greening early spring islands surrounded by stunningly blue coral reefs. Although small in size (it is approximately the size of New Jersey) New Caledonia has a well-deserved reputation for biodiversity, both on land in the sea.
