Iberian peninsula

ESA astronaut Thomas Pesquet took this picture of the Iberian Peninsula from the International Space Station.

Thomas shared this image on his social media channels with the caption: "It is 12 October Spain’s national day, and here’s the whole of the Iberian peninsula in one picture, including Spain and its neighbouring Portugal, from the strait of Gibraltar and the Atlantic coast to the Pyrenees. I had to use the wide-angle lens to get this though, maybe it is cheating?"
