Mediterranean Sunglint

Sunglint reflects off the Mediterranean Sea, highlighting the islands of Corsica and Sardinia in this photo taken on February 21, 2020, as an astronaut was looking south from the International Space Station (ISS). The islands have rugged, mountainous terrain with small lakes that also reflect sunlight. Sunglint is a phenomenon that occurs when sunlight reflects off the surface of the ocean at the same angle that a satellite or other sensor is viewing the surface.
