Details

Using highly specialized digital satellite technology, scientists at the German Aerospace Center have compiled this astounding collection of images of Earth’s mountain ranges. Seen from as far as five hundred miles above our planet to as near as fifteen, Earth’s most majestic peaks and ranges—from Kilimanjaro to K2, the Alps to the Andes—are visible as they never have been to the naked eye, in their entirety and unobstructed by clouds, haze, or the refraction of light. Experience the dramatic: glacial landscape of uncharted Antarctic ranges, the European Alps framed by clouds, towering Nanga Parbat in Pakistan, Japan’s picturesque Mount Fuji, or the vast expanse of the Alaskan Range among others in images that are as beautiful as they are informative.
