Whats In The Photo:3-d satellite perspective view looking west at area around Rifle, Colorado. Oil sands (tar sands) development has been simulated by superimposing imagery of an existing oil sands operation in Alberta, Canada. Simulated oil sands operation extends over 12 miles and covers over 25,000 acres (the entire complex in Alberta is significantly larger than this). Scale varies in this perspective view; foreground is 11.7 miles across.
