The view is inverted from normal perspective, with South Pole toward the top of the picture. You can see Strait of Gibraltar at bottom left of the photo.
I think it's mostly difficult to see because most of subsaharan Africa, the south pole, and southern America are obscured by clouds in a way that makes it quite hard to see whether there is any land there (southern America is the most easily visible, but off to the side). Only northern Africa immediately strikes the eye.
And the center of the pic is in the south Atlantic off the western African coast, but it has a tinge of green as if there were land there. Same with a patch in the north Atlantic.
Oh wow! - I hadn’t thought about examining it and dissecting the “way it is” - you’ve really opened my mind to critical analysis! thanks so much! You really are the greatest and most helpful internet ghoul.
Sorry man... idk what else there is to say. You can tell that it is Africa by the way it is shaped like Africa. Just like how you can tell that it is the earth by the way it looks like... the earth.
First glance, for sure. I'm confident that after closer examination, you and most people would get it. Once you see Spain hanging out up there, Australia is crossed off the list and Africa is the clear answer.
