Strait of Hormuz
Description:
Portions of Oman, The United Arab Emirates and Iran are seen at the Strait of Hormuz (26.5N, 56.5E) in this view. Sunglint in the Gulf of Oman, to the south of the strait accentuates the complex currents and oil slicks, seen as light toned blue streaks on the surface. Qeshm Island, just off the coast of Iran, can be seen on the edge of the photo.
