Indian Ocean, cloud-free C016 / 3713
Indian Ocean, cloud-free. Computer graphic of the Indian Ocean on an Earth globe, generated using satellite and mapping data. The data combines cloud-free satellite images of the land and sea surface in natural colour. Exaggerated topographic data is used to show the height of the land surface. Ocean colour variations are due to shallow depth around coasts and islands, and to chlorophyll concentration from phytoplankton near the sea surface. The Indian Ocean is surrounded by Africa (upper left), Asia (across top), Australia (lower right), and Antarctica (bottom centre). Islands include Madagascar, Sri Lanka, the Seychelles, Mauritius, and Kerguelen

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the mesmerizing beauty of the Indian Ocean in all its glory. Created using a combination of satellite and mapping data, this computer graphic showcases the vastness and diversity of this magnificent body of water. The image reveals a cloud-free view of the Indian Ocean, allowing us to witness its true colors and intricate details. The varying shades of blue represent not only different depths but also highlight shallow areas around coasts and islands. These coastal regions are teeming with life, as indicated by vibrant chlorophyll concentrations from phytoplankton near the sea surface. Stretching across continents, we can see Africa on the upper left side, Asia dominating the top portion, Australia on the lower right corner, and Antarctica at the bottom center. Islands such as Madagascar, Sri Lanka, Seychelles, Mauritius, and Kerguelen dot this vast expanse. Exaggerated topographic data adds depth to our understanding of land surfaces surrounding this immense oceanic region. From majestic mountain ranges like Himalayas to archipelagos like Maldives or Malay Archipelago - each feature is brought to life through digital mapping techniques. As we gaze upon this breathtaking image captured by PLANETARY VISIONS LTD/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY's satellite imagery expertise in Earth observation science; we are reminded once again how awe-inspiring our planet truly is.
