View from space of the island of Crete
July 22, 2011 - View from space of the island of Crete. The rugged terrain of Crete includes mountains, plateaus, and several deep gorges. The largest city on the island, Heraklion, sits on the northern coastline.
Several smaller islands ring Crete. Two of the largest of these, Dia and Gavdos, are sparsely populated year-round. The western and central parts of Crete appear surrounded by quicksilver. This phenomenon is known as sunglint, caused by light reflecting off of the sea surface directly toward the observer

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the breathtaking view of the island of Crete from space, taken on July 22,2011. The rugged and diverse terrain of Crete is beautifully showcased, showcasing its majestic mountains, vast plateaus, and deep gorges. Nestled along the northern coastline lies Heraklion, the largest city on this enchanting island. Surrounding Crete are several smaller islands like Dia and Gavdos. These serene havens remain sparsely populated throughout the year, offering a sense of solitude amidst their natural beauty. As we gaze upon this image, we notice a mesmerizing phenomenon known as sunglint. The sea's surface reflects sunlight directly towards us like quicksilver encircling western and central parts of Crete. The photograph highlights not only physical geography but also showcases the unique topography that defines this Greek gem in all its glory. With no human presence visible in this satellite view captured during daylight hours, it emphasizes nature's grandeur untouched by mankind. Through vibrant colors and a horizontal composition, Stocktrek Images has masterfully portrayed this awe-inspiring scene from space. This remarkable visual spectacle invites us to appreciate both the landmass itself and its rich Greek culture that thrives within it.
