How to spot Switzerland from satellite imagery
The Swiss Alps occupy much of the south and centre. The lower Swiss Plateau lies to the north of the Alps, with the Jura farther northwest. Long lakes and the transitions between these terrain belts can help orient a regional view.
Find Lake Geneva and follow the transition towards the Alps. Compare it with the lower terrain along the plateau rather than assuming all Swiss imagery is mountainous.
