Image Caption: STS039-085-016 Minas Basin, Nova Scotia, Canada May 1991
The Minas Channel (west of pointed peninsula) and the Minas Basin (east of peninsula) are part of the eastern extension of the larger Bay of Fundy. Cape Split is located on the tip of the pointed peninsula that separates these two bodies of water. The tides in the Bay of Fundy are the highest in the world ranging more than 50 feet (15 meters) from low to high tide. The lighter colored landscape shows where the cultivated fields are located. The dark, irregular shaped features inland are lakes, a result of the continental ice sheets that covered Nova Scotia during the Pleistocene era, roughly 15000 to 18000 years ago.
