mid-Atlantic plate subduction zone.

The Mid Atlantic Ridge is a rifting process creating new ocean crust. It is not a subduction zone. The Pacific Plate is subducting under the North American Plate though.

From what I see, IMHO, this is not a real photo.

Correct. Hasty work on my part.

You're probably right. Still, it's a cool photo/

That explains all the snow in Africa.

Here's a shot of the ISS from the shuttle Discovery. Note the apparent altitude and scope of the view of the planet. There are photos of Hubble service missions with similar scope, but planet surface mostly obscurred by cloud cover. I can't identify the planet surface area, but this would lend credence that some shuttle missions and flight paths position it in a way to allow the photo Limbaugh has posted.
