Landsat 9 satellite captured Lake Mungo, New South Wales, Australia.
Lake Mungo, a dry lake, is the central feature of Mungo National Park, and is one of 17 lakes in the World Heritage listed Willandra Lakes Region. Many important archaeological findings have been made at the lake, most significantly the discovery of the remains of Mungo Man, the oldest human remains found in Australia, Mungo Woman, the oldest human remains in the world to be ritually cremated and as the location of the Lake Mungo geomagnetic excursion, the first convincing evidence that Geomagnetic excursions are a geomagnetic phenomenon rather than sedimentological.
The local scenery on the ground is as follows.
