Southeastern Mediterranean panorama STS040-152-180

NASA Photo ID: STS040-152-180      File Name: 10064367.jpg

Title: Southeastern Mediterranean Panorama
Description:

In this panorama view of the Southeastern Mediterranean (28.0N, 34.0E), the Sinai Peninsula dominates this north looking oblique view. Lying between two great continents, historic Sinai separates Africa from Asia. The Great Rift Fault originates in southern Turkey, through the Jordan River Valley, and the Gulf of Aqaba, the Red Sea and then into east Africa. The atmospheric haze seen throughout is thought to be wind borne atmospheric dust.
