Florida,
USA, taken from Shuttle Mission STS-95 on 31st October 1998. Taken during the STS-95 mission from a point over
Cuba, this photo shows an oblique view of the
Florida Peninsula, with the light blue, shallow seafloor of both the
Florida Keys (curving across the bottom of the view) and the
Bahama banks (right).
Cumulus cloud covers
Miami and the Southern
Everglades, although the built-up area from
Ft. Lauderdale to
West Palm Beach can be discerned.
Lake Okeechobee is the prominent waterbody in Florida.
Cape Canaveral is shown well, half way up the peninsula.
Orlando appears as the lighter patch west (left) of Cape Canaveral, near the middle of the peninsula.
Cape Hatteras appears top right, with the north part of
Chesapeake Bay also visible.
