EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the stunning beauty of Portugal and Spain, two European countries that share the breathtaking Iberian Peninsula. The satellite image captures a vast expanse of land, stretching approximately 1375 by 975 kilometers. With its north oriented towards the top, this aerial perspective reveals an array of vibrant colors that depict various features of the landscape. The deep blue hues represent the surrounding waters, while lush green patches symbolize abundant vegetation. Urban areas are depicted in shades of grey, contrasting with brown tones that illustrate dry regions. Along most of Portugal's western coast lies a narrow strip spanning 200 kilometers, bordered by the vast Atlantic Ocean on its left side. Spain dominates much of this image with its expansive territory. Its Atlantic coastline is visible in the upper left corner, while to the right lies its Mediterranean coast. At center-right are the Spanish Balearic islands, adding a touch of intrigue to this already mesmerizing scene. The Pyrenees mountains form a natural border between Spain and France in the upper right corner. A dusty central plateau blankets much of Spain's interior (depicted in brown), creating an arid yet strikingly beautiful landscape. Intriguingly positioned at bottom left are the Straits of Gibraltar which separate Spain from Morocco across Africa's northernmost point. This remarkable satellite image captured by Science Photo Library offers us a unique glimpse into these enchanting nations' geographical wonders and invites us to appreciate their diverse landscapes from an extraordinary vantage point above Earth's surface.
