About this work
STS079-808-008 (16-26 Sept. 1996) --- In this 70mm frame from the space shuttle Atlantis, the Nile River wanders through the eastern Sahara Desert of Sudan and Egypt. In the foreground is a great bend of the Nile from north to south past the Fourth Cataract at Merowe (an ancient Sudanese dynastic capitol), then north past Dongola and the Third Cararact, to Lake Nasser in Egypt. Prominent sand streaks display a north-south alignment.
