Zanzibar Island, Tanzania: This reef-rimmed platform formed during rifting and ocean formation, which occurred when the supercontinent of Pangaea broke up about 200 million years ago. The higher flight elevation of this mission permits documentation of the geologic setting for reef development, whereas lower flight elevations are better for nadir reef-mapping views.
