Fine Art Print : Possible location of Atlantis
Fine Art Prints from Science Photo Library
Possible location of Atlantis
Possible Atlantis. Computer-generated map of a proposed location of the mythical city of Atlantis on Spartel Island in the Strait of Gibraltar. The Strait connects the Atlantic Ocean (left) to the Mediterranean Sea (right), and separates Spain in Europe (top) from Morocco in Africa (bottom). The red circles mark Gibraltar (upper right), Tangier (lower left), and Spartel Island (centre left). The island is now about 100 metres below sea level, but during the last ice age it would have been above sea level and may have been inhabited. Rising sea levels at the end of the ice age may have destroyed the island civilisation, leading to the myth of Atlantis sinking beneath the waves

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a computer-generated map proposing the possible location of the legendary city of Atlantis on Spartel Island, nestled in the Strait of Gibraltar. The image beautifully illustrates how this strait connects the vast Atlantic Ocean to the enchanting Mediterranean Sea, while separating Spain and Morocco. Marked by vibrant red circles are notable landmarks such as Gibraltar, Tangier, and Spartel Island itself. Although currently submerged approximately 100 meters below sea level, during the last ice age, this island would have stood proudly above water and potentially harbored an ancient civilization. However, as sea levels rose at the end of this glacial period, it is believed that this island civilization may have met its tragic demise - leading to the enduring myth of Atlantis sinking beneath oceanic depths. With elements encompassing European history and legend intertwined with African mythology and geology, this thought-provoking illustration delves into our fascination with lost cities and prehistoric civilizations. It serves as a reminder of humanity's enduring curiosity about our past and our relentless pursuit to uncover hidden truths buried within Earth's diverse landscapes. Presented by Science Photo Library without any commercial intent or affiliation with a specific company or brand, this remarkable artwork invites us to ponder upon one of history's greatest enigmas - Atlantis: a mythical realm forever shrouded in mystery yet eternally captivating our imagination.
