Satellite image centred on Indian Ocean
False-colour satellite image of the Earth, centered on the Indian Ocean. The outline of the whole east coast of Africa may be seen, with the island of Madagascar lower left of centre. The Arabian Peninsula is particularly clear, as is the adjacent Iran/Afghanistan region. Part of India is seen between the clouds upper right of centre. At the lower right edge is the west coast of Australia. Note the turbulent mixing of air near Antarctica at bottom shown by the swirling clouds. This shows the breakdown of the circumpolar vortex winds which confine air over the south pole during the southern winter and spring. This image was made by a GOES satellite in November 1983

EDITORS COMMENTS
This satellite image, captured by a GOES satellite in November 1983, offers a mesmerizing view of the Indian Ocean and its surrounding regions. The false-color rendering enhances the intricate details of our planet's surface, revealing an awe-inspiring tapestry of land and sea. At first glance, one cannot miss the striking outline of Africa's entire east coast dominating the frame. To the lower left of center lies Madagascar, an island teeming with biodiversity and natural wonders. The Arabian Peninsula stands out prominently, showcasing its distinct shape alongside the adjacent Iran/Afghanistan region. As we shift our gaze towards the upper right corner amidst scattered clouds, glimpses of India emerge from beneath their ethereal veil. Meanwhile, at the lower right edge stretches Australia's west coast—a vast expanse meeting with turquoise waters. However, it is near Antarctica that nature puts on a turbulent display. Swirling clouds reveal a phenomenon known as turbulent mixing—an indication of air breakdown within the circumpolar vortex winds during southern winter and spring seasons. This extraordinary photograph not only showcases Earth's diverse landscapes but also serves as a reminder of how interconnected our world truly is. It invites us to marvel at both its grandeur and fragility while igniting curiosity about our planet's complex systems—making it an invaluable addition to Science Photo Library’s collection.
