LightHawk Flight, April 6 2006

Part I

The following pictures were taken during a LightHawk flight over Glovers Reef and Gladden Spit. Lighthawk is a volunteer-based environmental aviation organization from North America (http://www.lighthawk.org).

Flying over Glovers you can observe the different coral formations of the atoll. Somtimes you can even glimps an eagle ray or a turtle. We even went looking for whale sharks but were not lucky this time.

The cayes are all found on the south-east side of the atoll-the windward side. In this area the spur and groves zone is much shorter than further north and you can literally swim to the drop off from the cayes.
