È il terzo lago italiano come superficie con 145 km² e il primo per sviluppo perimetrale con 170 km.
È il quinto bacino più profondo d'Europa con i suoi 410 metri dopo 4 laghi norvegesi: Hornindalsvatnet, Mjøsa, Salsvatn e Tinnsjå.
Raggiunge una lunghezza di 46 km (Gera Lario - Como) ed è largo da 650 metri a 4,3 km.
Bifido fiordo interamente scavato nella cerchia delle prealpi lombarde, con una caratteristica forma a "Y" rovesciata o, come recita un diffuso detto locale, a forma di uomo [1], è uno dei più suggestivi paesaggi italiani, decantato nell'800 dai maggiori poeti del Romanticismo, da Alessandro Manzoni a Stendhal, da George Gordon Byron a Franz Liszt.
Si trova a 199 m slm. La morfologia del territorio varia dai pendii arrotondati ed erbosi alle dolomie con rocce dentate, guglie e torri. I depositi alluvionali, trasportati da fiumi e torrenti, iniziarono a formarsi con la postglaciazione e furono la causa della separazione dei laghi minori (il Lago di Mezzola a nord ed i laghi di Garlate e di Olginate a sud).

Il bacino è composto da tre parti differenti: a sud-ovest il ramo di Como, a sud-est il ramo di Lecco e a nord il ramo di Colico (o "alto lago"), il più aperto dei tre. I fiordi meridionali rinserrano il montagnoso Triangolo Lariano. La divisione dei tre rami è ben visibile dal Sasso di San Martino, sopra Griante.

Lake Como (Lago di Como in Italian, also known as Lario; Lach de Comm in Insubric; Latin: Larius Lacus) is a lake of glacial origin in Lombardy, Italy. It has an area of 146 km², making it the third largest lake in Italy, after Lake Garda and Lake Maggiore. At over 400 m (1320 ft) deep it is one of the deepest lakes in Europe and the bottom of the lake is more than 200 metres (656 ft) below sea-level.

Hurricane Sandy Viewed in the Dark of Night

A few nice earth image images I found:

Hurricane Sandy Viewed in the Dark of Night

Image by NASA Goddard Photo and Video
NASA image acquired October 28, 2012

For the latest info from NASA on Hurricane Sandy go to: 1.usa.gov/Ti5SgS

This image of Hurricane Sandy was acquired by the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) on the Suomi NPP satellite around 2:42 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time (06:42 Universal Time) on October 28, 2012.
The storm was captured by a special “day-night band,” which detects light in a range of wavelengths from green to near-infrared and uses filtering techniques to observe dim signals such as auroras, airglow, gas flares, city lights, and reflected moonlight. In this case, the cloud tops were lit by the nearly full Moon (full occurs on October 29). Some city lights in Florida and Georgia are also visible amidst the clouds.
The Suomi NPP satellite was launched one year ago today (on October 28, 2011) to extend and enhance long-term records of key environmental data monitored by NASA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and the U.S. Department of Defense.

Suomi NPP is the result of a partnership between NASA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and the Department of Defense. Caption by Michael Carlowicz.
