Title: Portion of the Great Lakes area as seen from Skylab
Description:
An oblique view of a portion of the Great Lakes (43.0N, 70.0W) area as seen 
from the Skylab space station in Earth orbit. lake Erie is in the
foreground;  and Lake Ontario is in the background. The Niagara Falls area
is in the  center of the photograph. Portions of Pennsylvania, New York,
and Ontario,  Canada are visible, but under nearly complete snow cover.
Major structural  features, drainage patterns, road systems and the cities
of Buffalo and  Toronto are easily distinguished and actually enhanced by
the snow. At the  time this picture was taken, these two Great Lakes had no
observable ice,  although cloud formations partially mask the southern
shores of the two  bodies of water.
