Summary

The original finding aid described this as:

Description: Earth observations taken during the STS-95 mission from the space shuttle Discovery. Flooding from Hurricane Mitch, Honduras. This shot shows the inundated floodplain of the Rio Aguan on the northern coast of Honduras. The city of Trujillo is along the coast under the ``hook`` of Punta Caxinas, and the city of Tocoa is at the edge of the floodplain near where it begins to broaden where a small but visible tributary comes into the south of the main course of the river. Image 069 was selected by the crew for use in their postflight presentation.
