True-colour satellite image of Ireland
Ireland. True-colour satellite image of Ireland. North is at top. The islands main cities are Dublin (centre right) and Belfast (upper right). Ireland is often called the " Emerald Isle" because of the vivid greenness of its countryside; this is largely due to the warm, wet winds from the Atlan- tic Ocean to the West. Topographically, the island is shaped like a basin, having lowlands in its centre & hilly ranges around its coastline. Ireland has many lakes, including the largest in the British Isles, Lough Neagh (at upper right). The longest river in the British Isles, the Shannon, empties into a long, narrow estuary at lower left. Image taken by the Landsat-5 satellite

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a true-colour satellite image of the breathtaking Emerald Isle, also known as Ireland. The image captures the island's stunning natural beauty and highlights its main cities, Dublin and Belfast. With North at the top, one can appreciate Ireland's unique topography resembling a basin, with lowlands in the center and hilly ranges along its coastline. Renowned for its vivid green countryside, Ireland owes this vibrant hue to the warm and wet winds originating from the Atlantic Ocean to the West. The country boasts numerous lakes, including Lough Neagh – the largest in all of British Isles – visible towards the upper right corner of this remarkable photograph. Moreover, one cannot miss noticing how Ireland is blessed with an extensive river network. The Shannon River, which happens to be the longest in all of British Isles, gracefully empties into a long and narrow estuary located towards lower left. Taken by Landsat-5 satellite from space, this true-colour satellite image offers a unique perspective on Ireland's geography and physical features. It serves as a testament to Earth sciences' ability to capture our planet's awe-inspiring landscapes from above.
