STS79-E-5065 (19 September 1996) --- As seen from the Space Shuttle Atlantis' flight deck, backdropped against Cook Strait, the Tasman Sea and the south Pacific Ocean, several components of Russia's Mir Space Station greet STS-79 crew members looking through aft-flight deck windows. Egmont National Park and Mt. Egmont on New Zealand's North Island can be easily delineated, during Flight Day 4.
