EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a satellite image of the Middle East, with the North positioned at the top. The white lines beautifully outline the borders of various countries in this region. Known as a Eurocentric term, the Middle East encompasses Western Asia and is an area rich in history and culture. As we delve into this image, our eyes are drawn to several stunning bodies of water that surround this landmass. The Mediterranean Sea appears in a vibrant blue shade on the upper left side, while the Black Sea sits adjacent to it. Towards the top right corner lies the Caspian Sea, followed by the Red Sea towards the center-left and Indian Ocean towards lower left. Finally, we spot the Persian Gulf majestically situated at center-right. Compiled from data acquired by LANDSAT satellites in 2012, this photograph offers us a unique perspective on Earth's observation from space. It allows us to appreciate not only geographical features but also highlights how interconnected our world truly is. The intricate details captured here provide valuable insights into elevation levels and environmental characteristics across different regions within Western Asia. This comprehensive view invites exploration of diverse landscapes - from mountain ranges to coastal plains - showcasing both natural beauty and human settlements. With its wealth of information about nations and continents alike, this satellite image print serves as an invaluable tool for cartography enthusiasts or anyone seeking a birds-eye view of our planet's wonders.
