Europe, satellite image
Europe. Satellite image centred on Europe. North converges towards top. Water is blue, vegetation is green, arid areas are brown, and snow and ice are white. The terrain of Europe varies from arid, dusty areas (brown) to fields, forests and plains (green). Mountain ranges include (left to right): the Pyrenees, the Alps, and the Carpathians. Snow and ice is seen on mountains in Scandinavia and Iceland (upper centre). Seas are the Mediterranean Sea (lower centre), the Black Sea and Caspian Sea (lower right), the Baltic Sea and North Sea (upper centre) and the Atlantic Ocean (left). Also seen are Greenland and Newfoundland (top left), Russia and the Middle East (right), and North Africa (bottom). For this area at night, see E074/055

EDITORS COMMENTS
This satellite image showcases the diverse and stunning landscape of Europe. From the northernmost reaches of Scandinavia to the sun-soaked shores of North Africa, this composite photo captures the essence of this vast continent. The vibrant blue waters of the Mediterranean Sea take center stage in the lower part of the image, contrasting with the brown hues that represent arid and dusty areas. The green patches symbolize lush fields, forests, and plains that stretch across Europe's heartland. Mountain ranges dominate from left to right: first, we have the majestic Pyrenees, followed by the iconic Alps, and finally ending with the rugged Carpathians. Snow-capped peaks can be seen in Scandinavia and Iceland at upper center - a reminder of Europe's chilly winters. As we explore further into this remarkable print, our gaze is drawn towards Greenland and Newfoundland in the top left corner. To its right lies Russia and parts of Middle East while North Africa completes this visual journey at bottom. This satellite image not only provides a breathtaking view but also serves as a valuable tool for earth scientists studying various aspects such as topography, geography, climate patterns or even cartography. It reminds us how interconnected our planet is - from deserts to oceans; from icy caps to verdant landscapes - all within one frame captured by Science Photo Library.
