KML File - Week 7 assignment

http://coastal.er.usgs.gov/remote-sensing/advancedmethods/DRTO/drto_bathy_index.kmz
This KLM file on Google Earth is of the Dry Tortugas National Park (DRTO) in the Florida Keys. When you run the file you will see that this place is anything but dry. There are approximately 79 interactive location pins in this file. The pins represent submerged Topography data with a DEM image. The data pins are organized to make up a grid of 2 km x 2 km tiles. There is also an elevation color bar at each location which demonstrates both surface topography, and submerged topography.
