On January 13, 2022, the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer
(MODIS) on board NASA’s Aqua satellite captured a gorgeous true-color
image of a winter day across Western Europe. The view stretches for
almost 600 miles (965 km) from west to east (western France to Austria)
and from Belgium (north) to Corsica in the south.
Snow tops the high elevations of the Pyrenees Mountains, which lie in
the south between France and Spain, the Alps as they course across the
southeast section of the image, and the Central Massif in France. Large
banks of fog cover low-lying land, particularly in France. Most of the
landscape remains verdant green and free from snow.
