A white frozen heart nestled in the green of the Apennines: this is what the snow-covered Majella looks like in the image taken on April 2 by the Sentinel-2 satellite, of the Earth observation program Copernicus managed by the European Commission and the European Space Agency (ESA).
"A snowy early spring for our friends in Abruzzo!", Comments ESA in a tweet. "Yesterday Sentinel 2 of the Copernicus program captured this beautiful space postcard of the snow-covered Majella massif. What a view."
Along the edges of this ice heart you can see Sulmona, Campo di Giove, Fara San Martino and Caramanico Terme. At the center of the heart, however, stands Monte Amaro with its 2,793 meters high.
