Gulf of Antalya, Southern Turkish Coastline

41G-120-053 (5-13 Oct. 1984) --- Turkey and a portion of the Mediterranean Sea, with the city of Antalya visible, were photographed with a medium format camera during the 41-G mission aboard the space shuttle Challenger. Numerous eddies and an ocean front can be observed in the sun's glint off the water's surface. The folded mountains indicate the rugged topography in this region. Photo credit: NASA
