ISS006-E-35516 (5 March 2003) --- This photo of Palm Island Resort was taken by an Expedition 6 crewmember onboard the International Space Station (ISS). This man-made structure in the shape of a palm tree, just 1 mile off the coast from Dubai, United Arab Emirates, is scheduled to be complete by 2006. It will have 17 huge fronds surrounded by a crescent-shaped breakwater. This island is being built from 2.8 billion cubic feet of land dredged from the approach channel to the emirate?s Jebel Ali port, which is being deepened to 17 meters (56 feet). Sediments in the water from dredging activity can be seen near the port.
