STS078-760-88 Lake Victoria in color infrared: CIR photo of water plant mats along the coast of Kavirondo Gulf off of Lake Victoria. Kisumu, Kenya is on the northeast corner of the gulf (nadir 0.2S 33.9E).

STS078-754-60 Rift Valley Lakes: Rift Valley Lakes National Park in the northern portion of the African rift valley. The lakes names are Lakes Shala, Abiyata, and Langano (nadir 6.9N 39.1E).

STS078-734-12 Tulsa, Oklahoma: Seen here are Tulsa and Sapula, Oklahoma. Tulsa is in the northeastern part of the state, on the Arkansas River. Manufacture on petroleum-based products provides the economic basis for the city. Indeed, more than 800 major oil and gas companies have plants and offices in the city. Visible to the west of Tulsa is Keystone Lake.

STS078-758-44 Cumberland Lake Reserve: Cumberland Lake Reservoir on the Cumberland River, Kentucky (CIR).

STS078-742-43 Montgomery Is., Australia: Montgomery Is, in Collier Bay, northwest Australia. Colors show reefs, sediment and mangroves (nadir 16.1S 125.2E).

STS078-754-93 Salton Sea, California: The Salton Sea is the largest lake in California (360 square miles). The ecological problems facing the Salton Sea, mainly the deposition of agricultural chemicals and rising salinity levels, are due to the fact that it is a closed basin. Water only leaves the sea by evaporation, leaving the salt and chemicals behind.
