This satellite map of Europe is a perfect combination of satellite imagery and geographic reference information. The satellite images that make the background of this map were taken by NASA during the month of October: a time of colorful earth tones and visible snow in the north and on mountain peaks. The imagery has been enhanced with three-dimensional shading of terrain, which creates a stunning appearance that helps to visualize mountains, plains, plateaus, hills, and valleys much more than traditional ''flat'' satellite imagery. Mountain ranges like the Alps, Caucasus, and Urals are clearly visible, as are densely populated urban areas. Contours of the sea floor are also shown in vivid detail. This Europe satellite wall map also serves as a fully featured Europe reference map by providing useful geographic layers (both physical and political information) and just the right amount of detail to be both useful yet uncluttered. The natural colored border adds the finishing touch to ensure that this satellite map will look spectacular on display. You'll likely spend hours exploring the natural beauty of the European continent as seen from outer space!
