There are many observational satellites orbiting our planet, giving both scientists and the public alike amazing views of Earth from space<\/a>.<\/p>

It seems there’s no country, city or famous geographical formation that has not been captured from space, and that goes for the famous ‘holiday island’ of Ibiza.<\/p>

Ibiza can be found off of the southeastern coast of Spain, as these images of the Spanish island from space show.<\/p>

This image of Ibiza from wasn’t captured by a satellite, but by an astronaut onboard the International Space Station<\/a>, which orbits Earth at an altitude of about 400km \/ 250 miles.<\/p>

The image of Ibiza from space was taken by the Expedition 35 crew using a Nikon D3S camera and 400mm lens.<\/p>

Visible is the capital city, Ibiza Town, and the other largely-populated areas on the island, the town of Sant Antoni de Portmany and the municipality of Santa Eul\u00e0ria des Riu.<\/p>

And, in the bottom right of the image, shadows created by sunlight filtering through clouds.<\/p>

About Ibiza<\/strong><\/h2>

Ibiza is probably most famous among Britons and Americans as being a ‘party island’, with tourism being a huge part of the island’s income.<\/p>

However, it is also home to fields of wheat and olives, as well as vineyards.<\/p>

Parts of the island and near-shore waters are designated as UNESCO World Heritage sites.<\/p>

And Ibiza is also part of the Belearic Islands, an archipelago off the east coast of Spain in the Mediterranean Sea that includes the islands of Mallorca and Menorca.<\/p>
