Summary

[edit]
Description
English: This image, acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites on 4 December 2021, shows the snow-covered Atlas mountains of Morocco – the highest mountain range in North Africa. It is not uncommon to observe snow-covered areas in North Africa. Snowfall can at times make roads impassable and villages can sometimes be isolated for days. This is what recently occurred in Timahdite, a Moroccan village located in the Middle Atlas mountain range in early December, following the arrival of cold air which originated in the Arctic. The data captured by the twin Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites are particularly suitable for observing high-altitude mountain systems, mapping snow cover, and monitoring vulnerable communities around the world.
