STS098-366-30 Pacific: Mauna Loa, Hawaii, with snow. Fine details of volcanic craters and lava flows of varying ages.

STS098-366-36 Pacific: Molokai, Hawaiian Islands. Lush green windward (N) side of island and dry leeward (S) side reflect the influence of the tradewinds.

STS098-715B-77 Pacific: Ono-i-lau, Lau Group, SW Fiji. The three central islands are the remains of a volcanic crater that is now partly underwater. Lighting conditions in the photo allow detection of underwater features.

STS098-715B-80 Pacific: Fulaga, Ogea and Yagara cluster, Lau Group, SE Fiji, atolls with coral reefs-high glint contrast. Fulaga (B-shaped) is proposed as a protected area. Sunglint hampers identification of underwater features of the fringing reef. The 18.5 square km island is known as a land crab breeding area.

STS098-713-56 Pacific: Kapingamarangi, Micronesia. Atoll in glint shows islands, hides reef features. The atoll is less than 0.5 square miles in area with 33 islets.

STS098-716-86 Southwest China: Clouds, snow cover, and valley glaciers in China, 20-30 miles NW of Mt Everest (28N 86E).

STS098-720A-20 Caribbean: Andros Island, Bahamas, has a narrow barrier reef along its eastern "spine." The area has been recommended as a national reserve.

STS098-720A-30 Caribbean: Great Exuma, Little Exuma & Long Island, Bahamas. The proximity of this area to Nassau makes these areas popular dive spots.

STS098-720A-19 Caribbean: Cuba, broader view gives ESC context.

STS098-715-4 Caribbean: Along the edge of the continental shelf, Aruba has less developed fringing reefs than Bonaire and Curacao. Arasji Bay on the northwest tip is considered the most suitable site on Aruba for development of a marine protected area (there currently are none).
