​Since the start of the Tellus survey in Ireland in 2011, the Tellus survey pilots have been taking photographs from their unrivalled vantage point of the stunning landscape below them. The Tellus team has collated these images along with facts from the localities and digitally mapped them to provide a ‘Tales from Tellus’ ESRI storymap which shows the varied landscape of Ireland. While the survey collects geochemical and geophysical data that can image the deep geological features beneath our feet, these photographs show the human story of the survey and the dramatic coastlines, hills, fields and people who make up this island.

The storymap can be viewed in full here.
