Headline: Tournament Earth 2020: Best Picture Of NASA Earth Observatory Contest - Ocean Sand, Bahamas

Caption: *THE WINNING IMAGE* A satellite image of the sands and seaweed in the Bahamas. The image was taken by the Enhanced Thematic Mapper plus (ETM+) instrument aboard the Landsat 7 satellite. Tides and ocean currents in the Bahamas sculpted the sand and seaweed beds into these multicoloured, fluted patterns in much the same way that winds sculpted the vast sand dunes in the Sahara Desert.
