How to spot South Korea from satellite imagery
South Korea occupies the southern part of the Korean Peninsula. Much of the interior is mountainous, with larger lowlands along parts of the west. The west and south coasts contain many inlets and islands; the east coast is generally more continuous.
Compare the west coast around the Han River estuary with a section of the east coast. Notice the difference in the amount of flat coastal land.
