Europe's highest population concentration is in the Netherlands (centre left). Paris and Madrid are clearly visible, along with large cities in the UK, Germany, Italy and on the densely populated Mediterranean coast. In contrast, Eastern Europe is less well developed. The Sahara Desert (lower centre) and the Arctic (top) are uninhabited. India (lower right) and part of Canada (upper left) are also seen.
