EDITORS COMMENTS
This satellite image showcases the stunning County Durham in northeast England. The print beautifully captures the county's diverse landscape, with vibrant green vegetation, deep blue water bodies, and urban areas depicted in shades of grey. The photograph is oriented with north at the top. County Durham is known for its remarkable geographical features. To the west lies the majestic Pennines mountain range, while to the east stretches out the vast expanse of the North Sea. The coastline of County Durham is notably more densely populated than its interior, boasting several large former coal-mining towns that have left an indelible mark on this region's history. The River Wear gracefully meanders through the northern part of this image before reaching Sunderland at its mouth. In contrast, to the south flows another prominent river called River Tees. Durham, which serves as County Durham's capital city, can be found slightly inland between these two rivers. Its strategic location has played a significant role throughout history. This breathtaking print from Science Photo Library offers a unique perspective on County Durham's natural beauty and human settlements alike. It provides an opportunity to appreciate both Earth science and observation from space while exploring one of Britain's most picturesque regions within Europe's enchanting British Isles.
