Cyprus Through NASA's Eyes: A Year of Change

Three satellite images from NASA's Earth observation tool impressively demonstrate how the landscape of Cyprus and the surrounding area changes within just one year. On March 12, 2025, the island presents lush green vegetation, while a few months later, on August 23, 2025, the summer drought has turned everything into brown and yellowish tones. A year later, on March 11, 2026, after heavy rainfall, Cyprus is greener than in the corresponding period last year. These images demonstrate the sensitivity of the Cypriot landscape to weather conditions and the impact of rainfall on vegetation regeneration. The comparison of the images provides a visual representation of the cycles of nature and the climate changes affecting the region.
