False colour view of Wales from space. The country is dominated by the Cambrian Mountains (orange and red),most of which is covered by rough pasture. Along the southern edge (on the Bristol Channel) are the main urban areas shown in blue. At bottom right are Newport (right) and Cardiff,whilst Swansea is seen near bottom centre. Just above these are towns in the coal mining areas of 'The Valleys'. At top left is the island of Anglesey,separated from the mainland by the Menai Straits. The mountain area next to this is Snowdonia. In the top right corner is Merseyside in England. This image is a mosaic of data gathered by Landsat satellites | |
