Look at a photo at dusk of Europe and Africa, on a clear day, without clouds, from a satellite in orbit.
Observe how the lights are switched on in Paris and Barcelona, but not in London, Lisbon nor Madrid where the day is still clear.
In the middle of the Ocean you can identify the Azores, Madeira, and beyond the Canary Islands and Cape Verde.
The most impressive is the perfect display of Continental Shelves from the British Islands to Canada and the centre of Iceland.
