During the last day of the Galathea expedition Vædderen
passed Kronborg Castle placed on the easternmost point in
Ellsinore. The castle is situated at the narrowest point of the
Oresund and has played an important role in the history of
Denmark and Sweden. Read about the history of Kronborg Castle
and Oresund here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kronborg.
Technical information
The image is from Landsat ETM and it was recorded on the 8th
of May 2000. For the multispectral bands the original size of
the pixels is 28.5 meter and for the panchromatic band it is
14.25 meter. The image has been pan-sharpened using the
panchromatic high resolution data to sharpen the multispectral
information. In this way it has been possible to detect the moat
around the castle. The images has been processed by GRAS http://www.gras.ku.dk/
for Satellite Eye for Galathea 3. If you have and installation
of Google Earth (download here: http://earth.google.com/)
