About this work
ISS038-E-026862 (8 Jan. 2014) --- The Western Sahara Desert is featured in this image photographed by an Expedition 38 crew member on the International Space Station. The infrequent cloud bands over southern Mauritania were photographed with an oblique look angle so that the dark cloud shadows are also a prominent part of the view. Beneath the cloud the Aouker plateau of dark sedimentary rocks appears as a ragged, near-vertical escarpment at top right.
