Via the NZ Herald...
French astronaut Thomas Pesquet has shared a spectacular photo of the South Island as seen from space. The
image clearly shows almost the entire island, including the majestic
Southern Alps, as there are no clouds obscuring the view. The bottom of the North Island can be seen.
The
39-year-old, who is currently on a six month mission at the
International Space Station, tweeted the image on Thursday New Zealand
time.
(Ed note: also plainly visible is the Banks Peninsua, the nodule at 3 o'clock. We're waving from Wanaka!)
