Synopsis
Satellite photographs (from Terra-MODIS) and computer-generated models help visualize Bangladesh's place in the world. Located in South Asia, it is virtually surrounded by India and the Bay of Bengal to the south. But in many ways, the country's fate is dominated by the world's highest mountain range looming to the north-the Himalayas. Note: Conceptual animation zooming down to Bangladesh followed by an exaggerated growth of the Himilayan Mountain Range. Animator: Alex Kekesi (GST), Cindy Starr (GST). Scientist: Vincent Salomonson (NASA/GSFC). Writer: Hal Weiner. Platforms/Sensors/Data Sets: Terra/MODIS, GTOPO30, Terra/MODIS/Blue Marble.
