Yucatán Peninsula and Cozumel Island
STS041-89-080

This enlarged CIR print taken in October 1990 of Cozumel and the coastal area immediately south of Cancun, Mexico, clearly shows sizable areas where Hurricane Gilbert destroyed stands of forest near the east coast of the Yucatán Peninsula. The reddish tones in the damaged areas indicate that some revegetation is already occurring.
