Regional view of the northern Caspian Sea, April 1991 (NNASA photograph STS 39-151-007). This south-southeastward view was taken midway between the onset of transgression and the present; it spans the northern Caspian, the Volga and Ural River deltas, the Apsheron and Mangyshlak Peninsulas. The Aral' Sea is visible in the eastern distance, but most of the Gulf of Kara-Bogaz-Gol is beneath clouds.
