ESA’s Copernicus Sentinel-3 captured from ISS Andorra or the Principality of Andorra. The east coast of Spain and southern France are also captured in the image.
Andorra is a microstate in the eastern Pyrenees Mountains and bordered by France and Spain. Its origin goes back to the Frank Kingdom’s Counts of Urgell, and today is a monarchy headed by two Co-Princes – the Roman Catholic Bishop of Urgell in Spain, and the President of France. As can be recognized from the image, the country consists predominantly of rugged mountains. The country has Mediterranean climate with more snow in winter and lower humidity in summer. Andorra has approximately 80,000 population, Catalan (a kind of Romance language and is similar to Occitan) as the official language, and tourism as main industry.
The local scenery on the ground is as follows.
