"Exploring the Beauty of Saldanha Bay and Langebaan Lagoon"

An astronaut aboard the International Space Station captured an image of Saldanha Bay and Langebaan Lagoon in South Africa's Western Cape province. The lagoon is a shallow tidal estuary with no river flowing into it, while the bay has historically provided a haven for ships. The region's economy relies on industries such as fishing, mineral exports, and tourism, with the area being a popular spot for water sports. The establishment of the West Coast National Park in 1987 has helped protect the lagoon and surrounding coast as a nature reserve, including a marine park, a RAMSAR site, and a bird center.
