Aalborg, one of Denmark’s key northern cities, lies along the Limfjord, a shallow sound connecting the North Sea to the Kattegat strait. The city blends urban development with surrounding farmland and natural waterways.
This Copernicus Sentinel-2 image from 12 February 2021 highlights the path of the frozen Limfjord through the city. Urban areas appear in reddish tones, while agricultural land forms a colourful mosaic in the surrounding areas.
Copernicus satellite data supports urban planning, water quality monitoring, and landscape change analyses.
