EDITORS COMMENTS
This true-color satellite image showcases the stunning county of Cornwall in southwest England, Great Britain. With its northern region at the top, this print captures the essence of Cornwall's natural beauty and diverse landscapes. The county is home to iconic landmarks such as Lands End, located at the lower left corner, marking the westernmost point of mainland England. Lizard Point, situated at the bottom left corner, proudly represents the southernmost part of this picturesque region. Cornwall predominantly boasts a rural setting with an enchanting patchwork of fields that stretch across its vast expanse. However, amidst this idyllic countryside lies Bodmin Moor—its dark green hue standing out prominently in the upper center—an area known for its rugged charm and untamed wilderness. The city of Plymouth can be observed on Cornwall's western edge towards the right side of this image. Situated within Devon County but still closely connected to Cornwall's allure, Plymouth adds another layer to this visual narrative. As we explore further into this breathtaking photograph captured by Landsat-5 satellite from space, we are reminded that Cornwall is surrounded by two majestic bodies of water: The Celtic Sea graces us with its presence on the upper left side while the English Channel elegantly flows along our gaze towards lower right. Immerse yourself in this extraordinary snapshot showcasing not only Earth science but also a glimpse into one of Britain's most cherished regions—the magical land called Cornwall.
