Image Caption: Sunglint over the reefs of Ile des Pins (Kunie), to the east, and the Grand Recif Sud of New Caledonia. In the sunglint internal waves are seen traveling northwestward into the Grand Recif Sud. These waves travel subsurface along the density boundary of the mixed layer depth (in this region at this time of year it is probably around 40 to 50 meters deep).
