Description
Venetian islands. Satellite image of some of the islands in the lagoon surrounding the island city of Venice (upper left), off the coast of Italy. The long, thin island running from centre to lower left is Lido Island. This is a barrier island that is named for the way it protects the land behind it from the worst effects of tides and storms from the Adriatic Sea. Lido Island is a popular beach resort island. Venice is famous for its historic buildings and architecture. Image taken by the Ikonos satellite on 18 January 2002.
