STS098-713-011 (15 February 2001) --- An oblique, westerly-looking view over the Strait of Messini (center), which runs between Italy's "foot" part of the so-called "boot" (bottom) and the heavily cloud-covered Sicily (top). The image was recorded with a handheld 70mm camera by one of the STS-98 crew members aboard the Earth-orbiting Space Shuttle Atlantis. Parts of the Tyrrhenian Sea (right center), Ionian Sea (lower right) and the Mediterranean Sea (left) are covered in the picture.
