The Thames Estuary and London Array wind farm, England

The mouth of the Thames River in southeast England has been an important part of England’s history for centuries. As an entry and exit point for ships, it’s long helped to fuel the local economy. Look closely and you may be able to spot the tiny dots placed at regular intervals around that swirl of blue and white water; those are some of the 175 wind turbines of the London Array. The wind farm generates electricity for London’s electrical grid.
