Astronaut Shane Kimbrough captured from ISS Gulf of Sidra, Libya.
The Gulf of Sidra, also known as the Gulf of Sirte, is a body of water in the Mediterranean Sea on the northern coast of Libya, named after the oil port of Sidra or the city of Sirte. It was also historically known as the Great Sirte or Greater Syrtis. The Gulf of Sidra or Sirte has been a major center for tuna fishing in the Mediterranean for centuries. It gives its name to the city of Sirte on its western side. The gulf measures 439km from the promontory of Boreum (now Ras Teyonas) on the East side to the promontory of Cephalae (Ras Kasr Hamet) on the West. The greatest extension of the gulf inland is 177km land inward.
The local scenery on the ground is as follows.
