How to spot Philippines from satellite imagery

The Philippines consists of islands with varied coastlines and mountainous interiors. Luzon lies in the north, the Visayas occupy the centre, and Mindanao is farther south. Volcanic cones can be visible in detailed views, but the broader island arrangement is more useful for regional orientation.

Locate Luzon and Mindanao on the overview, then compare the more fragmented island pattern between them.
