First Snowfall of The Season Over the Pyrenees

Handout photo dated on November 9, 2025 shows The Pyrenees are an important ecological corridor stretching between France and Spain, connecting Atlantic and Mediterranean ecosystems across a rugged mountain landscape. The mountain range supports high-altitude grasslands, ancient forests, and glacial valleys, providing habitat for endemic species. The arrival of snow marks the beginning of the alpine winter and plays a key role in regional water storage. This image, acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-3 satellites on 9 November 2025, shows fresh snowfall above 1,900 metres, while lower elevations remain in shades of green and brown. This snowfall followed an Atlantic front, which brought up to 12 cm of snow and more than 40 l/m² of rain to parts of Spain. Photo by European Union, Copernicus Sentinel-3 imagery via ABACAPRESS.COM
