The 2018 Winter Olympics torch begins its journey to South Korea in Athens, Greece. Petros Giannakouris/AP The world is just a month away from the 2018 Winter Olympics in South Korea.

The winter games are held every four years, and this year athletes will compete for gold, silver, and bronze medals in the city of Pyeongchang.

South Korea has built or modified 13 venues for the sporting event, and the satellite-imaging company DigitalGlobe has recently flown overhead with its spacecraft and photographed them.

"The images were taken by DigitalGlobe's WorldView-3 satellite on Dec. 31 and WorldView-2 satellite on Jan. 2," a company spokesperson said in an email.

Here's what the site of the 2018 Winter Olympics looks like from hundreds of miles above Earth, and what the satellite pictures show.
