A view of the Caribbean island of Hispaniola from the International Space Station

September 28, 2009 - A view of the Caribbean island of Hispaniola from the International Space Station. This island is comprised of Haiti (in the center left of the image) and the Dominican Republic and is part of the Greater Antilles island chain which lies along the geological border of the North America Plate and the Caribbean Plate. A major fault line in the region, Enriquillo-Plantain Garden Fault, runs along the longer peninsula, in the foreground, and just south of Port-au-Prince. Part of a docked Russian spacecraft can be seen in the foreground. The epicenter of the disastrous 2010 earthquake occurred near this fault

EDITORS COMMENTS
This breathtaking print captures a mesmerizing view of the Caribbean island of Hispaniola as seen from the International Space Station. The image showcases the stunning landmass, which is comprised of Haiti and the Dominican Republic, forming part of the Greater Antilles island chain. Situated along the geological border between the North America Plate and Caribbean Plate, this region is known for its dynamic tectonic activity. Intriguingly, a major fault line called Enriquillo-Plantain Garden Fault can be observed running along the longer peninsula in the foreground, just south of Port-au-Prince. This fault line holds significant importance as it was near here that one of history's most devastating earthquakes occurred in 2010. The photograph also offers a glimpse into space exploration with a docked Russian spacecraft visible in the foreground. Against this backdrop, we are reminded of our planet's vastness and interconnectedness. With no human presence captured within its frame, this color image presents an unobstructed view from space - showcasing Terra's beauty at its finest. The vibrant blue hues highlight Earth's natural wonders while emphasizing our responsibility to protect and preserve these precious landscapes. This print by Stocktrek Images encapsulates both scientific significance and artistic beauty – serving as a testament to humanity's continuous quest for knowledge about our world beyond what meets the eye on Earth’s surface.
