EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the breathtaking beauty of Africa from a unique perspective. Created through computer artwork based on a satellite image, this illustration provides an intricate view of the continent's geography and topography. With North positioned at the top, one can easily identify various features that make Africa truly remarkable. The vibrant blue hues represent the vast bodies of water surrounding Africa, including the Atlantic Ocean on the left and the Indian Ocean towards the lower right. Three prominent lakes steal attention on the right side: Lake Victoria, Lake Tanganyika, and Lake Nyasa - each contributing to Africa's rich biodiversity. The contrasting colors reveal extensive deserts stretching across northern Africa and into the Arabian Peninsula in shades of yellow. The Sahara Desert dominates this region with its awe-inspiring vastness. Atop these sandy landscapes lies Madagascar, an island nestled in the Indian Ocean like a hidden gem. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this image also offers insights into oceanic depths as varying shades of blue depict underwater topography. From space observation to earth sciences and geographical studies, this comprehensive visual encapsulates numerous fields of scientific exploration. With no commercial intentions behind it but rather serving as an educational tool for enthusiasts worldwide, Science Photo Library presents yet another masterpiece that invites us to appreciate Earth's wonders from above.
