| Northeastern Coast of the United States: The crew of STS-106 was probably over the Great Lakes, looking southeast towards the coast when they took this panoramic photograph. Clouds almost touch the southern tip of the Delmarva peninsula. To the west of the peninsula is the Chesapeake Bay, to the north is the New Jersey peninsula. The most prominent city visible is Baltimore, along the coast of the Chesapeake. The Potomac River is identifiable because of its distinctive hook-shape. At the end of the "hook" is Washington DC. The dark green linear features further inland are the Appalachian Mountains. |
