Snowy 'Veins' of Siberia Captured in Haunting Image from Space

The European Space Agency's (ESA) Copernicus Sentinel-2A satellite captured the detailed topography of the snowy Putorana Plateau in central Siberia on March 2. The image highlights the region's stark and branching appearance, created by the area's flat-topped mountains and intricate lake and river systems. Flat-topped mountains are formed by plume volcanism.
