Image Caption:
Sunglint, Spiral Eddies

Ocean features in the sunglint are visible in this oblique west-
looking view into the Mozambique Channel. A spiral eddy can be
seen at the bottom center of the scene. Sunglint photographs such
as this, afford oceanographers an excellent view of near- surface
ocean features and structures. (S29-92-064)
