Summary
| Description |
English: In this false-colour image of the Saint Pierre and Miquelon archipelago, vegetation appears in varying shades of pink and red, bare land is beige, urbanized areas are blue-gray, and water appears in shades of blue and blue-green. Saint Pierre is the smallest of the archipelago’s major islands, a mostly north-east south-west running landmass with several smaller islands and islets scattered around it. In the west (left of the image), Miquelon consists of three main sections: an arc-shaped body in the north (top left), Grande Miquelon immediately south-east of that, and Langlade (or Petite Miquelon) Island in the south. Grande Miquelon and Langlade are connected by a tombolo, a ridge of beach material (typically sand), built by wave action, that connects an island to the mainland. This tombolo formed in the eighteenth century.
Français : Sur cette image en fausse couleur de l'archipel de Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon, la végétation apparait en différentes nuance de rose et de rouge, les terrains nus est en beige, les zones urbaines sont en bleu-gris, et l'eau apparait en nuance de bleu et bleu-vert. Saint-Pierre est la plus petite des îles principales de l'archipel, allant du nord-est au sud-ouest avec plusieurs îlots et îles plus petites autour d'elle. À l'ouest (à gauche de l'image), Miquelon est constituée de trois principales parties : la presqu'île du Cap, en forme d'arc dans le nord (en haut à gauche), Grande Miquelon juste sud-est de cette dernière et Langlade (ou Petite Miquelon) au sud. Grande Miquelon et Langlade sont reliés par tombolo, une crête de sédiments (typiquement du sable), construit par l'action des vagues, qui relie une île au contient. Ce tombolo, appelé isthme de Miquelon-Langlade, s'est formé au XIXe siècle. |
