GEOLOGY OF ELEUTHERA ISLAND,
BAHAMAS
Eleuthera Island (looking NNW) - this 110 mile long,
up-to-2-miles-wide island is located in the northeastern part of the Great
Bahama Bank. The lakes at right are just northwest of Gregory Town.
The elongated island at upper left is Harbour Island. The very narrow
neck at left is Glass Window. The dark blue water in the background is
the Atlantic Ocean. The turquoise-colored water in the foreground is
Exuma Sound.
Eleuthera Island (satellite photo) is a very narrow, linear-arcuate
island. Several other Bahamian islands also have this general geometry,
such as Great Abaco, Great Exuma, Cat Island, and Long Island.
