EDITORS COMMENTS
This breathtaking print captures the awe-inspiring view of the Strait of Gibraltar from space. Taken by the orbiting space shuttle Challenger during Mission 41-G in October 1984, it showcases the gateway between the vast Atlantic Ocean and the serene Mediterranean Sea. The image reveals Southern Spain and parts of Portugal on the left side, while a curved bay known as the Gulf of Cadiz graces Spain's Atlantic coast. To the right lies Morocco, with its vibrant city of Tangier visible as a lighter region near the tip of its peninsula. The intricate details captured in this photograph allow us to appreciate not only nature's beauty but also human settlements along these coasts. On Spain's Costa del Sol, we can spot Malaga shimmering similarly to Tangier. The significance of this image extends beyond its aesthetic appeal; it highlights environmental and geographical aspects as well. It serves as a testament to how interconnected our world is, showcasing how land masses and bodies of water seamlessly merge together across borders.
