Bright white waves break along the fringing beaches of the Savage Islands in these astronaut photos from October 22, 2009.
Astronaut photographs ISS021-E-11832 and ISS021-E-11833 were acquired on October 22, 2009, with a Nikon D2Xs digital camera fitted with an 800 mm lens, and are provided by the ISS Crew Earth Observations experiment and Image Science & Analysis Laboratory, Johnson Space Center. The images were taken by the Expedition 21 crew. The image in this article has been cropped and enhanced to improve contrast. Lens artifacts have been removed. The International Space Station Program supports the laboratory to help astronauts take pictures of Earth that will be of the greatest value to scientists and the public, and to make those images freely available on the Internet. Additional images taken by astronauts and cosmonauts can be viewed at the NASA/JSC Gateway to Astronaut Photography of Earth. Caption by William L. Stefanov, NASA-JSC.
