EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the stunning beauty of Cuba, a vibrant island nestled in the Caribbean Sea. With its true-color satellite image, this print offers a unique perspective on the country's diverse landscape. From top to bottom, one can observe the lush green vegetation that blankets much of Cuba, contrasting beautifully with the deep blue waters surrounding it. The photo also captures fluffy white clouds scattered across the sky, adding an ethereal touch to the scene. To the upper right lies Andros Island in The Bahamas, embraced by shallow seas painted in light blue hues from the Great Bahama Bank. Towards the lower right corner is Jamaica, another enchanting island neighboring Cuba. Notably visible is a bank near Isla de la Juventud on Cuba's western end. This image was captured by NASA's Terra satellite using their Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) technology on November 15th, 2001. It provides valuable data for Earth science research and allows us to appreciate our planet's natural wonders from space. Science Photo Library presents this remarkable print as part of their collection dedicated to showcasing scientific imagery and promoting knowledge about our world.
