Venice, Italy, is situated upon 118 small islands that are separated by canals and linked by bridges. With tide waters expected to rise to perilous levels in the coming decades, the city has constructed 78 giant steel gates across the three inlets through which water from the Adriatic could surge into Venice’s lagoon. The panels — which weigh 300 tons and are 92ft wide and 65ft high — are fixed to massive concrete bases dug into the seabed. . Created by @dailyoverview, source imagery @maxartechnologies

Dit bericht bekijken op Instagram

The Great Blue Hole is a marine sinkhole off the coast of Belize. Now a popular destination for divers, the site is located near the center of Lighthouse Reef, a small atoll about 43 miles (70 km) from Belize City. The hole — measuring 1,043 feet (318 m) across and 407 feet (124m) deep — was formed during several episodes of glaciation between 153,000 and 15,000 years ago, when sea levels were much lower. .

3) Mount Taranaki in Nieuw Zeeland

Dit bericht bekijken op Instagram

Mount Taranaki, also known as Mount Egmont, is an active stratovolcano on the west coast of New Zealand’s North Island. A change in vegetation is sharply delineated between the protected national forest that encircles the volcano and the surrounding land comprised of intensively-farmed dairy pastures. This week New Zealand announced it is now part of a small group of countries that have declared themselves free of Covid-19, and is believed to be the first to do so among nations that had more than 1,000 cases. .

4) Central Park, New York

Dit bericht bekijken op Instagram

Check out Central Park captured from helicopter by our founder @benjaminrgrant. Located in the middle of Manhattan in New York City, the park spans 843 acres - or 6% of the borough. One of the most influential innovations in the park's design was its "separate circulation" systems for pedestrians, horseback riders, and automobiles. This concealed "crosstown" commercial traffic in sunken roadways, and densely planted shrub belts in order to maintain a rustic ambiance. . PS - we’re thrilled to announce the winners our latest giveaway - @rachhaim and @lindsayschmidt17. DM is to claim your prints!

Dit bericht bekijken op Instagram

A stream carrying bright orange silt meets the North Atlantic Ocean near the town of Hvolsvöllur, Iceland. Many tributaries like this one can be seen along the southern coast of the country, fed by several massive glaciers and glacial lakes further inland. Roughly 11% of Iceland’s land area is covered by glaciers, the largest of which — Vatnajökull — contains about as much water as 1.7 billion swimming pools. .

7) Parijs

Dit bericht bekijken op Instagram

The street plan and distinctive appearance of central Paris, France is largely due to the vast public works program commissioned by Emperor Napoléon III and directed by Georges-Eugène Haussmann, between 1853 and 1870. Haussmann’s renovation of Paris included the demolition of crowded and unhealthy medieval neighborhoods and the building of broad, diagonal avenues, parks, squares, sewers, fountains, and aqueducts. Both the Eiffel Tower and Arc de Triomphe are visible in this Overview. . Created by @dailyoverview, source imagery @maxartechnologies

8) Een dorpje vlakbij Porto met een schelpvormige baai

Dit bericht bekijken op Instagram

São Martinho do Porto is a village in Portugal with a shell-shape bay surrounded by a white sand beach. They bay formed when a strip of land along the coast was eroded and divided by the Atlantic Ocean. Because the opening to the ocean is still relatively small (825 feet or 250 meters), the waters rolling into the beach are almost always calm. .

15) Iets groter ter afsluiting: New York City

Dit bericht bekijken op Instagram

There are more than 20 million people who live in the New York City metropolitan area. Manhattan's population density is 66,940 people per square mile (25,846/km²), the highest of any county in the United States. We believe the Overview perspective offers a powerful, visual reminder of just how many of us live in cities. Learning from our friends in Italy, Iran, South Korea, and Spain (among many other countries), we must take it upon ourselves to practice social distancing and limit the spread of the Coronavirus as much as possible. Wash your hands and please stay at home if you can. . Created by @dailyoverview, source imagery @maxartechnologies
