The European Space Agency (ESA) is fanning the Valentine's day flames by releasing this image of what might be the most romantic destination in the world.
The heart-shaped island of Galešnjak was originally mapped by nautical surveyer Charles-François Beautemps-Beaupré in the 19th century. However, it became popular recently thanks to Google Maps. The 500-metre-wide Croatian island is a dream destination for amorous couples. It even has its own website where lovers can declare their feelings for each other.
The image was caught using the Advanced Visible and Near Infrared Radiometer type-2 (AVNIR-2) instrument on board the Advanced Land Observing Satellite (ALOS).
