View of Cuba taken during ISS Expedition 36

Summary edit

Description
English: View of Cuba taken during ISS Expedition 36. Tiny reefs located (according to the coordinates given here) in the gulf of Batabano, about 15 km north-east of the west end of Cayo Largo (Cayo Largo del Sur, Canarreos archipelago) They are aligned(south) with the east side of cayos Blancos del Sur (fr:the archipel, not the island formerly called "cayo Blanco del Sur" and renamed "Ernst Thälmann Island" which is in the middle of that archipelago). These reefs do not show on any of the usual maps (openstreetmap, google/maps and some more); nor do they show on google/maps satellite view. The only usual map that shows them is the satellite view (not the map) in Mapcarta - this site does not allow for exact pointing link, here is cayo Largo del Sur : find the east cape, go 15 km east and up a bit.
However tiny they may be, the change of colour of the sea on each side of them shows that they mark the limit of the gulf of Batabano. Upper right corner darker blue is the "tail" of gulf of Cazones.
