Image Caption: The South Atlantic waters off of Cape Town and Herman, South Africa in sunglint. With the sunglint, you can see internal waves, internal waves being refracted around a point as the set reaches shore, and a faint ship's bilge dump. Just by looking at the internal wave patterns we can guess that the bottom topography is what is protecting False Bay from the larger waves breaking on shore as seen in the bays south of Cape Town. To see a similar view of this area not in sunglint see STS089-706-065.
