Satellite view of Spain and Portugal
January 24, 2003 - The Iberian Peninsula, home to the countries of Spain and Portugal, stretches toward North Africa in this true-color image. Portugal sits on the Atlantic side of the peninsula, while Spain takes up the rest and shares a border with France to the northeast. At the bottom of the peninsula is a narrow gap between Europe and North Africa. This gap is the Strait of Gibraltar, which also serves as the buffer between the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. The northern point of Morocco occupies the other side of the Strait, and farther to the east is northern Algeria

This print showcases a satellite view of Spain and Portugal, taken on January 24,2003. The Iberian Peninsula, home to these two countries, extends towards North Africa in this true-color image. While Portugal lies on the Atlantic side of the peninsula, Spain occupies the rest and shares its northeastern border with France. At the southern tip of this magnificent landmass lies a narrow gap that separates Europe from North Africa - the renowned Strait of Gibraltar. Serving as both a buffer between the Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea, it holds great historical significance. On one side stands Morocco's northern point while further eastward stretches northern Algeria. The photograph captures not only the geographical features but also highlights the stunning landscape visible from space. With no human presence in sight, this color image allows us to appreciate nature's grandeur at its purest form. As we gaze upon this horizontal composition, we are reminded of how interconnected our world truly is. From landforms to oceans and continents bridging together through waterways like the Strait of Gibraltar – it serves as a testament to our planet's diversity and unity. This awe-inspiring satellite view offers an opportunity for reflection on our place within Earth's vast tapestry. It reminds us that despite borders and boundaries separating nations; ultimately, we all share one common home – an intricate mosaic where every piece plays an essential role in shaping our collective existence.
