English: On August 4, 2020, NASA’s Aqua satellite passed over the Iberian Peninsula, allowing the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on board to acquire a true-color image of a sunny late-summer day across the region.
Sitting at the southwestern edge of Europe and spanning about 224,711 square miles (582,000 sq. km), the Iberian Peninsula occupies almost as much space as the U.S. state of Texas. The Pyrenees Mountains, in the northeast, forms an effective barrier between the countries on the Peninsula and the rest of Europe. Most of the Iberian Peninsula is occupied by Spain (192,657 sq. mi) and Portugal (35,556 sq. mi). The remainder is split between Andorra, Gibraltar, and a small bit of southern France. The waters of the Mediterranean Sea lap along the southern and eastern shores, while the Atlantic Ocean washes the southwestern, western, and northern coasts. |
