Title: Eleuthera Island, Bahamas
Description:
Eleuthera Island, (24.5N, 76.0W) Bahamas Island Group, is one of several 
within the archipelago surrounded by shallow seas, visible here as light 
blue.  Mosaic patterns of sand waves built by sea bottom currents in the 
shallows stand out in stark contrast to the deep blue of the ocean depths
of  a thousand feet in the Exuma Sound.
