EDITORS COMMENTS
This breathtaking print captures the mesmerizing beauty of Mexico as seen from space. With North at the bottom, the image showcases a stunning view of this diverse country. The focal point is the Gulf of California, also known as the Sea of Cortez, which appears as a large blue inlet in the center. This body of water separates mainland Mexico on its left from the Baja California peninsula on its right. To the right of Baja California stretches out the vast expanse of the Pacific Ocean, creating a striking contrast between land and sea. Clouds gracefully envelop rugged mountains that dominate Baja's landscape, casting dark brown shadows against their peaks. Intriguingly, nestled at lower left is another body of water called Salton Sea located in neighboring California, USA. Its small size adds an interesting element to this already captivating composition. Taken during mission STS-040 by NASA's space shuttle Columbia in June 1991, this extraordinary photograph showcases Earth's natural wonders with remarkable clarity and detail. It serves as a testament to human exploration and our ability to capture awe-inspiring images from orbiting spacecrafts. This incredible image was made possible thanks to Science Photo Library's dedication to providing exceptional visual resources for scientific research and educational purposes across various fields such as earth science and geography.
