Summary[edit]

Description
English: On June 6, 2015 the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) aboard NASA�s Terra satellite captured this true-color image of Western Europe on a sunny late spring day.

The first impression is a large swath of green lands, punctuated by snow on the highest peaks of the Alps, near the center of the image, and the Pyrenees Mountains, between France and Spain. A high bank of clouds sits over the northwest section of the image, while thinner clouds decorate the skies over southern Italy and the mainland east of the Adriatic Sea.

To the north, the peninsula of Denmark juts out into the North Sea (west) and the Baltic Sea (east). Denmark is considered part of Northern Europe. To the south, the major bodies of water are, from west to east, the Mediterranean Sea, the Tyrrhenian Sea and the Adriatic Sea.
