About this work
Japan's Geiyo Archipelago, in the Seito Inland Sea, was once home to pirates. From the 9th to the 16th centuries, the pirates dominated the Inland Sea and terrorized the coasts of East Asia. Until the Shimanami Kaido (Inland Wave Sea Road) was completed in 1999, the Geiyo Islands were a remote region, accessible only by boat. The ASTER image was acquired August 19, 2010, covers an area of 33.7 by 43.7 km, and is located at 34.3 degrees north, 133.1 degrees east.
