EDITORS COMMENTS
This satellite image showcases the vast and diverse landscape of the United States. With North at the top, this print provides a comprehensive view of America, highlighting its 50 states and their unique geographical features. The majority of states are concentrated in southern North America, depicted by lush green shades in the lower center. However, two outliers stand out - Alaska can be seen as a vibrant green expanse in the upper left corner while Hawaii remains unseen due to its remote location. The United States is bordered by Canada to the north and Mexico to the south, forming distinct boundaries that shape its identity. Surrounding waters also play a significant role in defining this nation's geography - from the expansive Pacific Ocean on the left side to the majestic Atlantic Ocean on the right. Additionally, glimpses of Greenland and Caribbean Sea add further depth to this mesmerizing composition. Compiled from data acquired by LANDSAT satellites in 2012, this image captures not only nature's beauty but also serves as an invaluable tool for cartography enthusiasts and environmental researchers alike. It offers a bird's eye perspective that allows us to appreciate America's coastline, borders, frontiers, and topographic variations with unparalleled clarity. In summary, Science Photo Library presents an awe-inspiring snapshot of our beloved country through this remarkable satellite image print – showcasing both its natural wonders and human-made divisions without mentioning any commercial use or affiliation with any specific company.
