  Title: Northwest Persian Gulf Region
  Description:
  An oblique view of the northwest Persian Gulf Region (29.5N, 48.0E) with 
  Iraq and Iran at the north end of the Gulf separated by the
  Tigres-Euphrates  river system.  The hazy nature of the photo is because of
  a dust storm  blowing across Iraq and Iran as well as smoke from oil well
  fires seen in the  tiny but oil rich nation of Kuwait at upper right.  Over
  the years, other out  of control oil wells have spilled millions of barrels
  of oil into the Gulf.
