This super-detailed satellite photo of the frozen Great Lakes is pretty spectacular

It looks like some desolate planet that's inhospitable to human life, and ... yeah, that's about right, at the moment.

NASA

This photo (click to embiggen) comes from NASA, and it looks like a moonscape, but its origins are purely terrestrial. It’s actually a shot from NASA’s Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer, showing the frozen-solid region around Lake Superior and northern Lake Michigan. It only looks like some dead planet because it is so inhospitable to human life right now.
