View of Cuba taken during ISS Expedition 8

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: View of Cuba taken during ISS Expedition 8. Holguín Province, about 140 km from the East point of Cuba: Nipe Bay (Spanish: Bahía de Nipe), municipalities of Mayarí (to the south) and Antilla (to the north).

This shows the village of Guatemala (south side, with a point sticking out in the bay) just left (west) of the Mayarí river, and Felton on the right (east) of that river. Mayarí is just south of Guatemala and Antilla in on the north shore.
Felton borders the bay of Cajimaya, on the east side of which is Cayo Saetía. To the north of Cayo Saetía is the El Ramon presque-isle; both features (nearly) close Nipe Bay.
Between Felton and Cayo Saetía is the bay of Cajimaya; an isthmus at the south separates it from the bay of Levisa. The town of Nicaro-Levisa is on the S-E shore of Levisa Bay. That bay has its own opening onto the sea: Boca de Tanamo, which is also a village; the channel to the sea is the 2-prong fork feature seen here near the bottom right corner.
Lastly, further south is the (smaller) bay of Cabonico, which also opens to the sea by one of the fork's prongs.

Bottom left: the lake is the embalse de Nipe on the Nipe river.
