View from space of the Isles of Scilly in the Celtic Sea.
June 8, 2021 - View from space capturing the essence of tidal features around the Isles of Scilly, an archipelago located just southwest of Cornwall, England. The archipelago includes nearly 150 islands in the Celtic Sea, of which five are inhabited. Pictured are St. Mary's, Tresco, St. Martin's, Bryher, and St. Agnes, the largest islands in the chain. Some of the coastal waters surrounding the islands have a bright turquoise hue, indicating the presence of shallow reefs and shoals. Deeper waters have richer blue hues. This photo also captures swell patterns caused by waves that intersect one another as they move around the islands due to the westerly sea breeze.
