Earth. Satellite image of the Earth, centred on South America
Earth. Satellite image of the Earth, centred on South America. North is at top. Water is blue, vegetation is green, arid areas are brown, and snow and ice are white. Both land and ocean floor topography are shown. The terrain of South America is marked by the Andes mountains along the western coast, tropical rainforests (dark green) in the Amazon river basin in the north, and swamps and plains (lighter green) in the south. Surrounding South America (clockwise from upper left) is North America and the Caribbean islands, the Atlantic Ocean (right) and the Pacific Ocean (left). Parts of Greenland, Europe, Africa and Antarctica are also seen on the edges of the globe

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the breathtaking beauty of our planet Earth from a satellite's perspective. Centered on South America, this image showcases the diverse landscapes and natural wonders that adorn our continent. The vibrant blue hues represent the vast oceans surrounding South America, while lush green vegetation blankets its surface. The majestic Andes mountains dominate the western coast, standing tall as a testament to nature's grandeur. In the north lies the Amazon river basin, adorned with dark green tropical rainforests teeming with life. As we move southwards, lighter shades of green reveal swamps and plains that stretch endlessly. As we explore beyond South America's borders in this image, other continents come into view – North America and its Caribbean islands to the upper left, Europe peeking through at one edge, Africa making its presence known on another side, and even Antarctica showcasing its icy expanse. This snapshot not only highlights Earth's topography but also reminds us of our interconnectedness as inhabitants of this beautiful planet. It serves as a gentle reminder to cherish and protect these precious ecosystems for generations to come.
