Island of Sicily

This southerly-looking view taken from onboard the space shuttle, shows the triangular-shaped island of Sicily. With only very limited coastal plains, the islands topography consists of rugged hills and low mountains. Snow-capped Mt. Etna is visible near the northeast point of the island.

Some other distinctive features in this image are the lighter-colored zone of suspended sediment in the water along the southern coast, in the middle distance, the smaller islands of Malta, and off to the south, across the Mediterranean, the north African shore.
