How to spot Sweden from satellite imagery

Sweden has a long Baltic coastline and a largely forested interior, with more extensive agriculture in the south. Vänern and Vättern stand out as large inland water bodies. Mountains rise along the western border with Norway, while much of the east has lower relief.

Locate Vänern and Vättern, then compare southern farmland with the forested country farther north.
