Great Exuma Island in the Bahamas is one of the most recognizable places on the planet for astronauts aboard the International Space Station. The distinct lines of the tidal channels cut between the small emerald island cays stand out even from the 400 km-high orbit of the space station. The channels have been carved out of the rock ridge over millennia, thanks to the relentless daily ebb and flow of the Atlantic Ocean tides across the tropical island chain.
The Exumas are known for fresh food and cultural significance to The Bahamas. Sea life regularly caught for commercial purpose include bone fish, conch, grouper, lobster, marlin, sailfish, snapper, tarpon, tuna and wahoo.
The capital city, George Town, is home to many different shops and services that serve both the travelling public and residents of the islands. The islands have built a reputation as a luxury travel destination.
