Europe - Iceland Satellite Photo

This image shows a satellite photo of Iceland in Europe. The entire island is almost completely covered in the glistening white glaciers that have carved the intricate fjords, especially on the northwestern peninsula. This true-color image was acquired on January 28, 2004, by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on the Aqua satellite. Original photo unmodified; Picasa2 made very little difference. Original can also be viewed at the NASA link above.
