Here’s the unscrambled image and the location along with a few information about the location and satellite data applications.
𝐓𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐦 𝐈𝐬𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝 is considered the largest freshwater island in the Philippines, located in the largest freshwater body in the country, Laguna de Bay. It belongs to both the Municipalities of Binangonan and Cardona and has a blade-like shape which is where the name “Talim” (meaning “sharp”) came from. Mt. Tagapo (or Susong Dalaga), the highest point of Talim Island, is at 438 meters (1,437 feet) above sea level. The Island was mentioned in El Filibusterismo (Chapter 3: Mga Alamat), a novel written by Jose Rizal.
Through satellite data and remote sensing we can monitor coastal changes, water quality, investigate developments or changes brought by human interventions, and appreciate unique geological features.
