English: Scandinavia from space in winter.
The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) instrument aboard NASA’s Terra satellite captured the above image of the Scandinavian Peninsula on February 19, 2003. Español: Escandinavia en invierno, imagen de la NASA
Français : Scandinavie en hiver depuis l'espace. Image prise par l'instrument MODIS à bord du satellite Terra de la NASA.
Avec ses paysages sculptés par les glaciers du quaternaire, la Scandinavie en hiver est aussi pittoresque que froide. À l'ouest sont visibles les étroits bras de mer appelés fjords, qui ponctuent la côte norvégienne. Ces fjords très profonds (plus de 600 m et jusque 1 308 m dans le Sognefjord) ont été creusés par de lourds glaciers au cours des âges glaciaires. Ces glaciers descendus de la montagne ont creusé leurs vallées bien en dessous du niveau de la mer. À la fin de la glaciation, c'est donc la mer qui a envahi ces profondes vallées. Nederlands: Satellietopname van Noorwegen, Zweden en Finland in de winter
Română: Peninsula Sandinavă în timpul iernii — vedere din satelit (19 februarie 2003).
Русский: Скандинавский полуостров зимой (19 февраля 2003)
Svenska: Satellitbild över Skandinavien. I Norge finns det fjordar, i Sverige sjöar och i Finland också. Hela halvön är täckt av snö på vintern. Även om det är kallt om vintern nu, så var det ännu kallare på istiden. |
