Eleuthera. Eleuthera Island, (24.5N, 76.0W) Bahamas Island Group, is one of several within the archipelago surrounded by shallow seas, visible here as light blue. Mosaic patterns of sand waves
built by sea bottom currents in the shallows stand out in stark contrast to the deep blue of the ocean depths of two thousand meters in the Exuma Sound. Date Taken: 14 April 1981 NASA Photo ID: STS001-12-322 |
