An infrared image of the Zagros Mts

An ASTER infrared image of the Zagros Mts in Fars, Iran, because #FridayFold and #Geology rules!

And sorry, I can’t remember the band combination I used… It’s an old composition, but it’s false colour, that’s for sure.

It represents shortwave #infrared and near infrared light, combined as red, green and blue. The colours highlight different rock types that would be «invisible» to the naked eye. It’s perhaps 30 km wide.

Amazing folds.
