EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a true-colour satellite image of the stunning Iberian Peninsula, encompassing Spain and Portugal. With its north-oriented perspective, the picture highlights the remarkable geographical features of this region. The vibrant blue hues represent the surrounding waters, while lush green areas depict dense vegetation. Sparse vegetation is depicted in earthy brown tones, and bare ground appears as pristine white patches. The Pyrenees Mountains majestically dominate the upper right corner of the image, serving as a natural border between Spain and France. These towering peaks are characterized by paler colors that seamlessly blend with their surroundings. Towards the lower left side lies North Africa, separated from Europe by the iconic Strait of Gibraltar—a narrow passage connecting two vast bodies of water: the Atlantic Ocean on one side and Mediterranean Sea on another. Within this picturesque Mediterranean expanse lie three enchanting Spanish Balearic Islands— Ibiza (Iviza), Mallorca (Majorca), and Menorca (Minorca). Each island possesses its own unique charm and allure. This extraordinary photograph captures not only breathtaking beauty but also provides valuable insights into Earth's geography. It serves as a testament to our ever-advancing scientific capabilities in capturing such awe-inspiring images from space.
