Turks and Caicos Islands, detail: Light streaks and patches of carbonate sand (shell particles, grains of limestone) are seen on the shallow platform (turquoise) where waters are a few meters deep. On the north side of the islands, surf is breaking on the barrier reef. Just south of the coast of N. Caicos Island is a blue hole, formed by submarine dissolution of the limestone platform.
