European Space Agency captures high-resolution image of Ram Setu/Adam's Bridge using Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellite.
The European Space Agency (ESA) has captured a high-resolution image of Ram Setu, also known as Adam's Bridge, a chain of shoals linking India and Sri Lanka, using its Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellite. The 48 km long bridge separates the Gulf of Mannar from the Palk Strait and comprises limestone shoals that were once a landmass connecting India and Sri Lanka. The bridge was traversable until the 15th century, after which it gradually eroded due to storms.
