Switzerland as seen by Envisat

Switzerland, a small federal state in central Europe and one of the most mountainous countries, is covered in detail in this true-colour Envisat satellite mosaic. A mosaic for the entire continent of Europe was produced using some 160 images taken between May to August 2003 by the Medium Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MERIS) instrument on ESA's Envisat environmental satellite, working in full resolution mode. The Innsbruck-based company GeoVille produced the mosaics for ESA.
