YSAR IMAGES - Qumran Site
The BYU Synthetic Aperature Radar Systems
Qumran is the site of an anceint settlement along the shore of the
Dead Sea. This area is famous as the site where the Dead Sea Scrolls
were found. Some of the ancient settlement has been excavated; a gift
shop and other tourist attractions are at this site.
This site lies entirely at the base of a cliff. This caused higher
turbulence, giving less-focused images. We also seem to have entirely
missed the main target areas because they were so close to the cliffs.
The dead sea and roads along it are visible in the images. An orchard
can clearly be seen at the start of one image.
