Kissing island of Greenland! It’s fake. The image first appeared online in January 2012 and is the work of Italian photographer and digital post-production artist Vincenzo Micarelli. It is posted on his website and lists the client as Pfizer. The original image in Mr. Micarelli’s portfolio includes the Pfizer logo, although it can often be seen online with this logo cropped out.
Micarelli has a few other images of land masses that resemble faces in his online portfolio. (Examples here and here.) We reached out to Mr. Micarelli for additional information about the image. He graciously responded with the following description: This image is part of a series of imaginary territories resembling humans, that I have made for an advertising campaign. They are fruit of my invention and post-production, of course.
