The Arctic, satellite image
The Arctic. Satellite image of the Earth centred on the Arctic. The North Pole is at centre. Clouds and Arctic sea ice are white, oceans are blue and land is green and brown. Also seen are Asia (upper right), Europe (lower right), the Atlantic Ocean (bottom), North America (lower left) and the Pacific Ocean (upper left). This image was produced by combining data from the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP), NOas POES and Nimbus 7 satellites and the MODIS instrument on board NASAs Terra satellite

EDITORS COMMENTS
This satellite image showcases the Arctic region, with the North Pole positioned at its center. The intricate details of our planet are beautifully depicted in this print, revealing a mesmerizing blend of colors and textures. The white hues represent both clouds and the vast expanse of Arctic sea ice, while the blue shades symbolize the surrounding oceans. Green and brown patches indicate land areas across Asia (upper right) and Europe (lower right), offering a glimpse into these continents' geographical features. The Atlantic Ocean stretches along the bottom portion of the image, while North America can be observed in the lower left corner. In contrast, the upper left section reveals glimpses of the Pacific Ocean. This stunning composite was created by merging data collected from various satellites including Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP), NOas POES, Nimbus 7, and NASAs Terra satellite's MODIS instrument. The photograph not only captures Earth's topography but also highlights its spherical shape as it hangs suspended against a backdrop of darkness that represents space itself. It serves as a testament to humanity's advancements in earth observation sciences through satellite technology provided by organizations like NASA and NOAA. This remarkable snapshot is an invaluable resource for researchers studying climate change patterns, vegetation distribution, cloud cover dynamics, land cover analysis, ice coverage monitoring within polar regions such as Northern Hemisphere territories or even for those simply fascinated by our planet's breathtaking beauty seen from above.
