CUBA SEEN BY NORTH AMERICAN NASA FROM SPACE.
CUBA VISTA POR LA NASA NORTEAMERICANA DESDE EL ESPACIO.
Una serie de imágenes difundidas por la Agencia Espacial de Estados Unidos revela la belleza natural del archipiélago cubano. Compartimos algunas de estas fotos.
In this image of the Landsat 7 satellite the coasts of the western region of the island are seen. To the south, the shallow and transparent waters of the Gulf of Batabanó, allow to see the sandy bottoms, while the north coast is visibly deep. In the image it is easy to distinguish the ports of Mariel and Havana.
Photograph of the Cuban West taken by one of the crew of Expedition 38 aboard the International Space Station. In the image you can see the insular platform, a shallow area excellent for fishing.
In this oblique image, taken in 2013 from the Soyuz spacecraft docked at the International Space Station, the island of Andros, part of the Bahamas archipelago, and the northern coast of much of Cuba are visible. Taken by the Soyuz.
The westernmost of the Cuban provinces is also the most wooded. According to official figures, the trees occupy 47 percent of this territory. The image shows a forest fire that consumed between 600 and 700 hectares of pine trees in 2006.
