I shall forever idolize you.
New Guinea is only about 3000 miles off.
It was driving me crazy also. I like to think I’m good at geography, but I couldn’t place this.
I went to an online world map and looked for two land masses in a temperate zone, because of the green areas. The orientation of the picture was tough, and the curve of the earth is also evident.
I first thought it was the Gulf of Mexico because of the curve of the bay, but Florida and the Miss. delta of LA were missing.
The website has satellite views of all of the countries. So I started with New Zealand and saw some similarities in the area between its two parts to the pictures. I kept toggling back and forth, and decided this must be the place.
The link in djf’s post after mine, actually takes you to the NASA picture with an explanation that it is NZ.
My method was more crude, but it worked.
