Long distance observations


Long-distance observations are specific types of landscape photography covering the earth's surface objects as well as man-made objects firmly linked to the earth's surface.

World records

Currently, World records of the most distant landscape photography can be divided by:
- the longest distance observation ever: Massif des Ecrins seen from the Pic de Finestrelles in the Pyrenees - 437 km, Marc Bret,
- World's most distant sunrise: Tete de L'Estrop from Canigó - 408 km - Marc Bret
Other lines of sight:
The longest line of sight in the British Isles is from Snowdon to Merrick - 232 km.
It has been photographed by Kris Williams in 2015.
The longest theoretical line of sight possible from the USA territory is between Mc Kinley and Mount Sanford at the 330 km distance.
- May be an record of visibility between two points in the same country showing view from Puig D'en Galileu in Serra de Tramuntana to Pic de Saloria in Pyrenees - 324 km - Marcos Molina.
