EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing sand storm over the Canary Islands, captured by NASA's Terra satellite on 22 April 2002. The true-colour satellite image depicts the Sahara Desert in Africa (on the right) unleashing its fury upon these picturesque islands nestled in the Atlantic Ocean (centre to centre left). With north at the top, this stunning aerial view reveals vast stretches of arid brown land contrasting with deep blue waters and billowing white clouds. The immense power of nature is evident as large plumes of wind-borne dust and sand reach out into the vastness of the Atlantic Ocean. This spectacle highlights both the beauty and harshness of our planet's environment. The coastal regions appear rugged yet resilient against this atmospheric onslaught, while inland areas bear witness to an unyielding dry climate. In April, when this photograph was taken, winds howl relentlessly across these African landscapes, carrying with them Saharan dust that blankets everything in its path. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), aboard NASAs Terra satellite, has masterfully captured this breathtaking scene from space. This remarkable image serves as a reminder of Earth's interconnectedness and showcases the dynamic forces shaping our world. It invites us to contemplate our place within this intricate tapestry of land, sea, wind, and atmosphere – a testament to both nature's grandeur and fragility.
