NASA Photo ID: STS048-82-042       File Name: 10065066.jpg
  Film Type: 70mm                    Date Taken: 09/18/91
  Title: Falkland Islands, UK
  Description:
  This view of the Falkland Islands (52.0S, 58.5W) was taken with a dual
  camera  mount.  Compare this scene with STS048-109-043 to analyze the
  unique  properties of each film type.  Seldom seen cloud free, the Falkland
  Islands   lie off the southern coast of Argentina.  The cold Falklands
  Ocean Current    keeps the islands chilly, ideal for sheep herding and
  fishing, the two main  industries.  Colonies of seals and penguins also
  thrive on the islands.
