The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) aboard NASA’s Aqua satellite on March 10.

Summary[edit]

Description
English: The Iberian Peninsula was greening in early March 2017. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) aboard NASA’s Aqua satellite on March 10.

Snow tops the highest elevations in the Pyrenees Mountains that sit along the border of Spain and France. Patches of snow also can be seen on a few mountaintops in the Central Mountains and, along the northern coast, the Cantabrian Range. Red hot spots mark fires scattered across the landscape, with a cluster in the Cantabrian Range.

The Iberian Peninsula contains both Spain, which makes up the largest part of the land mass. Portugal lies in the southwest. The Strait of Gibraltar (south) separates the Iberian Peninsula from North Africa while the Atlantic Ocean sits in the west and the Mediterranean Sea in the east.
