Near-vertical view of the eastern portion of New Caledonia, using
color film and the 250mm lens. The nearly-continuous fringing
reefs show up very well. The complex mountain chain along the
center of the island is made of ancient oceanic crust and sub-
crustal rocks that were shoved up by plate-tectonic processes.
These rocks contain heavy metal deposits, particularly nickel and
chrome, that are being mined at present (reddish scars). Poten-
tial run-off of mine waste into the coral lagoons is of environ-
mental concern. S33-73-62.
