Ireland. February 2000 - The island of Ireland comprises a large central
February 2000 - The island of Ireland comprises a large central lowland of limestone with a relief of hills surrounded by a discontinuous border of coastal mountains which vary greatly in geological structure. The mountain ridges of the south are composed of old red sandstone separated by limestone river valleys. Granite predominates in the mountains of Galway, Mayo and Donegal in the west and north-west and in Counties Down and Wicklow on the east coast, while a basalt plateau covers much of the north-east of the country. The central plain, which is broken in places by low hills, is extensively covered with glacial deposits of clay and sand. It has considerable areas of bog and numerous lakes. The island has seen at least two general glaciations and everywhere ice-smoothed rock, mountain lakes, glacial valleys and deposits of glacial sand, gravel and clay mark the passage of the ice.
Two visualization methods were combined to produce this image: shading and color coding of topographic height. The shade image was derived by computing topographic slope in the northwest-southeast direction, so that northwest slopes appear bright and southeast slopes appear dark. Color coding is directly related to topographic height, with green at the lower elevations, rising through yellow and tan, to white at the highest elevations

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print of Ireland, taken in February 2000, showcases the stunning geographical diversity that defines this enchanting island. The central lowland of limestone forms the heart of Ireland, surrounded by a picturesque border of coastal mountains with varying geological structures. In the southern region, mountain ridges composed of old red sandstone are interspersed with limestone river valleys, creating a striking contrast. Moving towards the west and northwest counties such as Galway, Mayo, Donegal, Down and Wicklow on the east coast reveals an abundance of granite-dominated mountains. The image also highlights a basalt plateau that stretches across much of the north-eastern part of Ireland. As we explore further into this mesmerizing landscape, we encounter a central plain adorned with low hills and covered extensively by glacial deposits comprising clay and sand. This plain is dotted with numerous lakes and vast areas of bog. Evident from this photograph are traces left behind by two major glaciations that have shaped Ireland's terrain over time – ice-smoothed rock formations, glacial valleys carved out by ancient glaciers, as well as deposits consisting of glacial sand, gravel and clay. Combining shading techniques to depict topographic slope along with color coding representing different elevations adds depth to this visual masterpiece captured by Stocktrek Images. From vibrant green at lower elevations to yellow and tan hues gradually ascending towards white peaks at higher altitudes – every detail has been meticulously preserved in this awe-inspiring portrayal.
