Image Caption: Black Haruj Hills, central Libya The crew was asked to
document the phenomenon of clouds formed only over the dark-colored
Black Haruj hills, as seen on the weather satellite. In the event the
phenomenon was documented over the dark surface of the Gilf Kebir
plateau in SW Egypt (STS069-709-063). Dark surfaces are preferentially
heated and thus produce added vertical movement in the atmosphere.
