This image shows the height of the forest canopy for a portion of the Pongara National Park along the Gabon Estuary in Gabon, West Africa. This area includes some of the tallest mangrove forests in the world, indicated by a dark green color, where trees tower up to 60 meters (200 feet). The data were estimated by fusion of PolInSAR and LiDAR data collected by the AfriSAR campaign in March 2016.
