Long distance observations

Long-distance observations are specific types of landscape photography covering the earth's surface objects (mountains, protrusions, rocks, etc) as well as man-made objects firmly linked to the earth's surface (buildings, towers, transmitters, skyscrapers, etc).


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,[1]
- World's most distant sunrise: Tete de L'Estrop from Canigó - 408 km - Marc Bret[2]

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.[3]

The longest theoretical line of sight possible from the USA territory is between Mc Kinley and Mount Sanford at the 330 km distance.[4]

- 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.[5]
