17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing natural phenomenon - a dust storm over the Arabian Sea and Persian Gulf. Captured on December 13th, 2003, by NASA's Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) onboard two satellites, this composite satellite image unveils the sheer power of nature. As sand and dust particles from surrounding countries are swept up by strong winds, they converge to form an awe-inspiring sandstorm. The intricate details captured in this image allow us to witness the immense scale of this meteorological event. The vast expanse of the Arabian Sea and Persian Gulf is shrouded in a dense cloud of swirling dust, creating an otherworldly atmosphere that stretches as far as the eye can see. Countries such as Pakistan, Iran, Oman, and United Arab Emirates contribute to this colossal dust plume through their arid landscapes. This photograph not only serves as a testament to Earth's remarkable geographical features but also highlights our planet's interconnectedness. It reminds us that even seemingly distant regions can impact one another through natural forces like wind patterns. Through advanced technology like MODIS aboard Terra and Aqua satellites, scientists are able to observe these phenomena from space with unprecedented detail. This invaluable data aids in understanding weather patterns and contributes to meteorological research worldwide. Science Photo Library presents this stunning visual representation of our ever-changing planet – a reminder of both its beauty and its complexity.
