In this Landsat infrared image of New York, the Hudson River (black) flows straight down into the Atlantic. Long Island sound is the wide inlet at the top right, connecting with the Hudson via the East River. The finger-like protrusion of Manhattan Island sits between the Hudson and the East River; Central Park is clearly visible as a vegetated (red) rectangle. The huge urban sprawl of New York is seen here as light blue and grey patches, spreading out in all directions around the city.
