About this work

While Sochi is a coastal town on the Black Sea, the skiing events for the XXII Olympic Games are taking place about 40 kilometers (25 miles) inland. The venues are clustered around Krasnaya Polyana, a small town tucked between the Aibiga and Psekhako Ridges in the western Caucasus. This image—acquired by the Advanced Land Imager (ALI) on NASA’s Earth Observing-1 (EO-1) satellite on February 8, 2014—offers a view of the town and the ski facilities.
