The three mile area is the sight of a disruption in the earth pushing up into a dome or anticlime. Scientists have two competing theories about how this dome came to be. As seen from space, this natural anomaly is both distinct and intriguing. Geologists and nature buffs alike can marvel at its unique beauty and hypothesize about its creation.

Caption by Space Station Academy student: This image shows the largest arm of the Acklins/ Crooked Islands, where is featured the Mason's Bay and Snug Corner. Is also possible to observe the land, which is not so fertile and just hold big ponds (beige spots) with a great amount of salt. Thanks to the Easter look at the the islands, the view is able to show the Blue Holes (one of the biggest in the world, the Dean's Blue Hole), which are in dark blue in contrast with the beach water and also the reefs near the beach. Is important to let notice, the great sand banks that lie near the coast, which indicate how deep is the sea. Taking pictures of the Dean's Blue Hole and it's companions, allow scientists to keep track of the levels of erosion and melting of the ice caused by the global warming. The growth of the Blue Holes, depend on the sea level and climate conditions, so several pictures of blue holes can show the changes through the years. There's also the quality of the reefs, which most are in danger.
