The 300 m false-colour image of 27 August 2016 shows us Puntland, a region in northeastern Somalia. Puntland is bordered by the self-declared Republic of Somaliland to its west, the Gulf of Aden in the north, the Indian Ocean in the southeast, the central Galmudug region in the south, and Ethiopia in the southwest. The exact location of the fabled territory is still a mystery. Many studies suggest that the Land of Punt was located in present-day Somalia, whereas others propose that it was situated elsewhere.
The region is semi-arid, with a warm climate and average daily temperatures ranging from 27 °C to 37 °C. Rainfall is sparse and variable, with no single area receiving more than 400 mm of rain annually.
