Baja California/Lower California

Today's lecture: Baja California (or Lower California), not just "Baja." This is an ungrammatical use of an adjective as if it were a noun (e.g., one would not refer to New York as just "New"). More on this here.
Also, please do not call the northern state "Baja California Norte," there is NO such state. The formal names of the states that comprise the Baja California peninsula are: Baja California and Baja California Sur (similar to Virgina and West Virginia, there is no East Virginia).

- Whole Peninsula (except Guadalupe Island). Even Rocas Alijos (Alijos Rocks) can be seen (I mean the surf that they cause. They are to the west of Bahia Magdalena).
- From Cape Mendocino, CA to just north of La Paz, B.C.S
- From Paso Robles, CA to Vizcaino Desert, B.C.S
- Guadalupe Island, Central B.C. down to Magdalena Bay
- Gulf Of California, as seen from above the Colorado Desert / Salton Sea.

- Colorado Delta and Gulf Of California

- Nice image of Southern Baja California, from Loreto to the Cape; notice the greenery of the Sierra de la Laguna
- Images of Baja California Sur
- Tim's cropped Satellite Images
- Some B.C. satellite images and maps
- San Diego Bay and Tijuana
- 478 Shuttle images of Baja California; seems that the links there are not working since the NASA people changed the collection pages. What you should do is mouse over the link and get the STS?XXX,YYYYYYYY value (in the status bar). Then go here and enter the YYYYYYYY (8 digit) value. I know it is cumbersome but worth it since the images are good.
