Astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti captured from ISS Arafura Sea. The Northern Territory State of Australia is shown at the bottom.
The Arafura Sea (or Arafuru Sea) lies west of the Pacific Ocean, overlying the continental shelf between Australia and Western New Guinea (also called Papua), which is the Indonesian part of the Island of New Guinea. The Arafura Sea is bordered by the Gulf of Carpentaria and the continent of Australia to the south, the Timor Sea to the west, the Banda and Seram seas to the northwest, and the Torres Strait to the east. (Just across the strait, farther to the east, lies the Coral Sea). The Arafura Sea is 1,290km long and 560km wide. The depth of the sea is 50-80m in most places, with the depth increasing to the west.
The local scenery on the ground is as follows.
