The Sunny North 
The image displayed on this cushion cover is taken on the 12th of August 2013. On this day almost the while island enjoyed clear skies. The photo clearly shows Iceland’s famous glaciers that cover around 11% of the island, as well as the locations where the glacier rivers fall into the sea, adding a light green colour to the otherwise dark blue ocean. Notice the fine line on the glaciers; at higher elevation we see the relatively clean with snow from last winter, but near the glacier edge is the older firn and glacier ice. The photo is taken from the Terra satellite of NASA. The satellite is in a polar orbit around the earth. On board is an instrument called MODIS that is accurate enough to give us a clear picture despite hovering 700km above the surface.

The front of the cushion cover is made of 100% cotton satin with high quality durable smudge-free textile printing. The satin has a matt-finish and feels very soft and comfortable. The back is made from sturdy 100% cotton twill in black colour. The covers have a zipper on the back.

The cushion covers are sold without a cushion (filler) and each cover is packed separately in a beautiful gift box. 

The cushion covers are made by Icelandic dairy farmers that live in a farm in Northern Iceland. They specialize in high quality textile products and their main product line consists of various types of cushion covers with photographs from the Icelandic nature.
