Chilean fjords
Chilean fjords, satellite image. During the last ice age, glaciers on the southern tip of Chile gouged out deep valleys. When the ice age ended the glaciers melted and the sea level rose. This flooded some of the valleys, creating thousands of islands and the scarred landscape of deep fjords seen in this image

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the breathtaking beauty of the Chilean fjords, as captured by a satellite image. The remarkable geological history behind this awe-inspiring landscape is revealed through its intricate details. During the last ice age, powerful glaciers in southern Chile sculpted deep valleys that would later become submerged under rising sea levels when the ice melted away. As a result of this natural phenomenon, thousands of islands emerged and formed an enchanting archipelago within these flooded valleys. The scars left by glacial activity are evident in every curve and crevice, creating a mesmerizing display of nature's power and artistry. The image allows us to appreciate the sheer magnitude and grandeur of these fjords from a unique perspective - high above Earth's surface. It serves as a reminder that our planet holds countless hidden wonders waiting to be discovered. Through this photograph, Science Photo Library invites us to delve into the realm of geographical marvels and contemplate the forces that have shaped our world over millions of years. It offers an opportunity for reflection on how even seemingly desolate landscapes can harbor extraordinary beauty when viewed with an open mind.
