Photos of Cuba

Satellite image of Cuba (center) and Jamaica (lower right). The southern tip of Florida, the Florida Keys, and the Florida Strait appear at the top. The bright blue-green color around the islands, particularly around the Bahamas in the upper right, is likely due to the brighter solar reflection over the more shallow waters that surround the islands.
