A bank of fog has snuggled up to the southern coast of Italy in the Golfo di Taranto (north of center) in this true-color Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) from the Terra satellite on April 30, 2003. To the southwest of Italy is Sicily, where snow stands out on the dark, volcanic flanks of Mt. Etna.
