PIX4664729: Denmark seen from space 02/2003 - Denmark seen from space 02/2003 - Denmark is a peninsula of Jutland and 443 islands, observed by the International Space Station on 26/02/2003. Sweden and Norway are partially visible to the right of the image. The Kingdom of Denmark, with an area of 16,639 square miles, consists of the Jutland Peninsula and roughly 500 islands. Taking advantage of remarkably fair weather over north central Europe for this time of year, the crew of the International Space Station took this panoramic view that extends from the North Sea coast of the Netherlands on the left to the Baltic Sea shores of Sweden on the right. The late - winter landscape has little snow cover except over northeastern Germany, Sweden, and the rugged mountains of Norway. Feb 26 2003 / Bridgeman Images

PIX4664915: Pyrenees views by shuttle 2001 - STS108 - 10/12/2001 The high spine of the Pyrenees Mountains at the French and Spanish border is snow covered in this 70 mm frame, photographed from the Space Shuttle Endeavour. The highest point of the Pyrenees is 3404 meters, though outside the area pictured. Snow - free foothills of the Pyrenees in Aquitaine (France) appear at the bottom (north is to the bottom of the view). According to geologists studying the STS - 108 photo collection, the Pyrenees range began forming about 320 million years ago and was strongly uplifted again during early stages of Eurasian - African plate collision. Complex folded strata on the Spanish side (near Pamplona) appear as bends and waves in foothill rock across the top of the view. Tin, tungsten, talc, fluorite, barium and gold have been mined from the mountains, and petroleum is produced from the adjacent Aquitaine sedimentary basin / Bridgeman Images
