EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a satellite image of the Middle East, offering a unique perspective on this culturally and geographically diverse region. With the north at the top, we can observe how countries in this subcontinent act as a bridge between Eurasia and North Africa. The Arabian Peninsula takes center stage, encompassing Saudi Arabia, UAE, Oman, and Yemen. Across the Red Sea lie Egypt and Sudan to the west of Saudi Arabia. Moving towards the Mediterranean Sea in the north of Egypt, we encounter Israel, Lebanon, and Syria while also noting that Gaza and West Bank fall within Israel's borders. Iraq lies northwest of the Persian Gulf with Iran positioned to its east. Further eastward are Pakistan, Afghanistan along with their majestic Himalayas. The print offers an expansive view that extends beyond political boundaries; it captures glimpses of other nations such as Russia to Greece in Europe and Ethiopia to Somalia in Africa. The Black Sea connects with Ukraine while Romania and Bulgaria bordering it. As we explore this remarkable satellite image from space by Science Photo Library without any commercial intent but purely for scientific purposes; we cannot help but marvel at Earth's intricate topography unveiled before us. It serves as a reminder of both stability and conflict present across Asia and Africa - regions where history has unfolded through wars like Gulf War or conflicts like those witnessed during war on terror. In summary, this mesmerizing photograph provides an invaluable visual resource for studying geography while highlighting various geopolitical dynamics shaping our world today
