Légende
(28 April-6 May 1991) --- This nearly vertical photograph of the North Atlantic, taken outside of the sunglint pattern, illustrates the extreme contrast between highly reflective ice, having a large percentage of between-crystal air space, and the low-reflectance water, which absorbs most of the light that propagates into it from the air. Photographs such as this, taken several times over the course of a mission, may be used to investigate near-surface circulation in high-latitude oceans.
