Title: Bahama Islands

Description:

This beautiful photograph from space shows the contrast between islands, 
clouds, shallow water and deep water of the Bahamas (25.0N, 76.5E).  The 
Bahama Islands of Nassau (the smaller island) and Eleuthera are at the edge 
of the Bahama Bank where the water is shallow revealing the bottom in pale 
blue detail contrasted to the dark depths of the Exuma Sound where the
bottom  is over a thousand feet deep.
