Highlighted use cases for satellite data

The image showcases the use of satellite images, in this case for the Antarctic expedition of T. Ulrich in 2023. The image is split into two parts. On the left, there is a hand holding a map with a snowy mountainous Antarctic terrain in the background, under a clear blue sky. The map is created from a Sentinel-2 satellite image and shows detailed topography. On the right, there is a close-up of T. Ulrich with a frosty beard and sunglasses, dressed in heavy winter clothing, with the sun shining brightly behind them
