Image Caption:
STS042-96-069 NW Alaskan Coast, Bering Sea (59.0! N, 162.0! W)
This oblique view of the coast of Alaska and adjacent
Bering Sea was taken on 26 January at 21:39JGMT using a Hassel-
blad camera equipped with natural color transparency film and a
100 mm lens. The wide field of view shows an impressive panora-
ma, encompassing the Alaskan coast from Bristol Bay in the south
to Nunivak Island in the north. The Earth limb is seen in the
top right portion of the photo. The land areas are totally
snow-covered. A broad band of sea ice extends 10-50 miles out
from the coastline, forming a complex pattern of linear and eddy
features as the ice is moved around under the influence of wind
and water currents.
