==================================================
This panel shows a Sentinel-1A satellite radar image that was processed to depict water in blue and land in earthen colors. It features some of the Azores islands about 1600 km west of Lisbon, including the turtle-shaped Faial, the dagger-like Sao Jorge and Pico Island, with Mount Pico reaching over 2351 m in height.
The image highlights the differences in the relief of the islands, with volcanoes and mountains clearly standing out.
Faial is part of the central group of the Azores. Different shades of blue decorate the houses, which divide the fields and line the roads, giving Faial the name 'Blue Island'.
Along with other islands in the archipelago, Faial is of volcanic origin. In 1957, a big eruption about 1 km from the coast ejected large quantities of lava and ash, forming an islet that later became connected to Faial island by an isthmus.
Unique among the islands of Azores, São Jorge is uncharacteristically long and slender, and so susceptible to ocean erosion.
Named after its imposing mountain, Pico Island is one of the most beautiful and underrated islands of the Azores. Its history was forged on whaling and wines. The famous Pico wines and the UNESCO world patrimony designated vineyards, as well as wooden boat building, are contemporary features of Pico.
Since volcanic eruptions ended 300 years ago, Pico is considered dormant, adding to the island's mystery and making it a magnet for scientists.
Sentinel-1A has been in orbit since April 2014, monitoring the marine environment and mapping water and soil surfaces, among other major applications.

We create stunning viewing experiences from our customers’ digital photography and art by printing them on our magnetic float-mounted fotoflōt classic or large format fotoflōt pro panels.
We generally do not sell "ready to display" panels, but we have a few pieces with curated stunning Space and Earth images.
The fotoflōt pro construction technique has been used in Europe for decades and becomes more popular in photo galleries, museums, and commercial and private decor in the US. It is often referred to as "C-print mounted to plexiglass" and the most expensive large-format photographs have been constructed this way, such as 99 Cent II Diptychon, Chicago Board of Trade, or Shanghai by German photographer Andreas Gursky.
fotoflōt pro panels start as traditional silver-halide photo prints that are permanently "sandwiched" between a layer of clear acrylic glazing in the front and a sheet of stabilizer in the back. Panels need no frame or mat so that the image goes all the way to the (invisible) edge.
This fotoflōt pro panel comes with a "float mount box" attached to the back for a dramatic wall mounted floating display and has been constructed as follows:
* An extremely high resolution image has been printed on the glossy version of Fuji Crystal Archive Professional C Type photo paper. The silver-halide continuous tone photo print was made on a 50in wide Durst Lambda printer.
* Fuji Crystal Archive Professional C type paper is one of the most resilient and fade-resistant photo papers available. It has been tested by Wilhelm Imaging Research, the industry’s “gold standard” for testing of photo paper durability. Their tests show that it can be exposed to normal interior lighting and indirect sunlight for decades without perceptible fading from either light or air pollution. The panels shouldn't be displayed where they will receive direct sunlight for extended periods of time, as no display method can prevent fading under those conditions.
* The print was permanently "sandwiched" between a layer of clear acrylic glazing and a sheet of white 3mm Dibond as a stabilizer in the back.
* We have selected the compound aluminum Dibond backing for its superior dimensional stability across a wide temperature range.
