EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the breathtaking beauty of the Bijagos archipelago, located off the coast of Guinea-Bissau in West Africa. The satellite image reveals a mesmerizing view from space, with the north positioned at the top. These islands are home to a remarkable community of primitive people who still embrace animism religions and lead lives centered around hunting and agriculture. Their deep connection with nature is evident as rivers flowing from the mainland sweep white sediment and organic matter onto these enchanting islands. The delta formed by these rivers creates a stunning estuary where land meets sea, offering a unique geographical spectacle. The vastness of the Atlantic Ocean surrounds this archipelago, adding to its allure and making it an extraordinary sight for earth observation. Science Photo Library has masterfully captured this momentous scene, allowing us to appreciate both the natural wonders and cultural richness present in this remote corner of West Africa. As we gaze upon this satellite image print, we are transported into a world where untouched landscapes harmoniously coexist with ancient traditions.
