This image may not be used to state or imply ESA endorsement of any company or product Elba, Italy, satellite image. North is at top. Elba (lower left) is an island of Elba off Italy's north-western coast. To the east (upper right) is the Italian mainland and region of Tuscany, while the small island of Pianosa is at bottom left. This image is a compilation of three images from the radar sensor of the Envisat satellite, acquired on 29 November 2008, 7 February 2009 and 21 August 2010. The images are assigned a colour (red, green and blue) and combined to reveal changes in the surface. The populated areas (multi-coloured) on Italy's mainland show that the land, buildings and roads changed over the three-year period. Changes in the sea surface are also shown.
