Instructions:

In this Landsat satellite image of northern Saskatchewan, we see farm fields (pink and white and light green rectangles), forests (dark green), the town of Prince Albert (blue/purple), and the North Saskatchewan River (dark blue). The colours are strange because we are using information from parts of the spectrum that we don't normally see (like the infrared) and are showing them as colours that we do see. Lets find some more features in this image! Use the number coordinates on the edge of the image.
