River Thames

Whenever the ISS flies over London at night time, you can see exactly where the River Thames flows, thanks to all the lights illuminating its banks. In fact, most major cities around the world can be seen at night from the station, and each illuminated city is more beautiful than the previous one.

Himalayas

You can see many mountain ranges from the orbit, but perhaps the Himalayas are the most impressive. They occupy about 75% of Nepal’s territory and feature the highest mountain in the world — Mt. Everest. Fun fact: Everest has several different names — in Nepali, it is Sagarmatha, and in Tibetan — Jomolungma.
