This print captures a mesmerizing view of the northern end of the Persian Gulf, taken by Apollo 7 on October 14th, 1968. From an altitude of 226 kilometers, this extraordinary image showcases the breathtaking landscapes of Kuwait, Iraq, and Iran. In the lower left corner lies Kuwait, its golden sands stretching out towards the glistening waters of the Persian Gulf. Moving to the left is Iraq, with its diverse terrain ranging from arid deserts to fertile plains. Finally, at the top of this photograph rests Iran, displaying its majestic mountains and vast expanses. What truly stands out in this image is the mouth of the Tigris-Euphrates River visible on the left side. This iconic river system has played a significant role throughout history as it meanders through these three countries. Beyond its aesthetic appeal and geographical significance, this photograph also serves as a testament to human achievement in space exploration. It reminds us that our thirst for knowledge knows no bounds as we venture into uncharted territories. As we gaze upon this remarkable snapshot captured by Science Photo Library's lens, let us appreciate both our planet's beauty and mankind's relentless pursuit of understanding Earth's wonders from above – an endeavor that continues to inspire generations around the world.
