There are many observational satellites orbiting our planet, giving both scientists and the public alike amazing views of Earth from space.
It seems there's no country, city or famous geographical formation that has not been captured from space, and that goes for the famous 'holiday island' of Ibiza.
Ibiza can be found off of the southeastern coast of Spain, as these images of the Spanish island from space show.
See the North York Moors from space, a view of northern Europe from space and an image of northeastern USA from space.
This image of Ibiza from wasn't captured by a satellite, but by an astronaut onboard the International Space Station, which orbits Earth at an altitude of about 400km / 250 miles.
The image of Ibiza from space was taken by the Expedition 35 crew using a Nikon D3S camera and 400mm lens.
Visible is the capital city, Ibiza Town, and the other largely-populated areas on the island, the town of Sant Antoni de Portmany and the municipality of Santa Eulària des Riu.
And, in the bottom right of the image, shadows created by sunlight filtering through clouds.
About Ibiza
Ibiza is probably most famous among Britons and Americans as being a 'party island', with tourism being a huge part of the island's income.
However, it is also home to fields of wheat and olives, as well as vineyards.
Parts of the island and near-shore waters are designated as UNESCO World Heritage sites.
And Ibiza is also part of the Belearic Islands, an archipelago off the east coast of Spain in the Mediterranean Sea that includes the islands of Mallorca and Menorca.
