On 21 February 2026, Sentinel-2 looked down on the Strait of Hormuz, the narrow gateway between the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman. It is about 39 kilometres wide at its narrowest, squeezed between the coast of Iran and the Musandam Peninsula of Oman, whose jagged, fjord-like shoreline fills the lower centre of the frame. Turquoise sediment plumes spill into the dark water, and about a fifth of the world's oil passes through this channel.
