从国际空间站(ISS)的视角,地球上的标志性地标展现出令人惊叹的宏伟景象。宇航员们能够清晰地观测到包括埃及吉萨金字塔、迪拜棕榈岛、美国大峡谷、亚马逊河、戈壁沙漠、金门大桥、乞力马扎罗山、喜马拉雅山脉、苏伊士运河以及澳大利亚大堡礁等自然和人造奇观。这些地标从250英里(约400公里)的高空俯瞰,其规模和美感得以淋漓尽致地展现。文章通过对比地面和太空视角下的地标照片,揭示了从太空观察地球的独特魅力,以及这些世界级地标在宇宙中的壮丽形态。

🌍 **太空视角下的地球奇观**:国际空间站为我们提供了观察地球上最令人惊叹的自然和人造地标的独特视角。从250英里(约400公里)的高空俯瞰,诸如埃及吉萨金字塔、迪拜棕榈岛、美国大峡谷、亚马逊河、苏伊士运河以及澳大利亚大堡礁等,都展现出与地面截然不同的宏伟景象,其规模和细节得以清晰呈现。

🏗️ **人造奇迹的空间印记**:文章列举了多个人类建造的工程奇迹,例如迪拜的棕榈岛,这是一个完全由沙子堆积而成的人工岛屿;金门大桥,其国际橙色在太空中依然醒目;以及世界上最大的露天矿之一——肯尼科特铜矿,这些都清晰地展示了人类改造地球的能力。

🏞️ **自然地貌的宇宙之美**:从太空视角看,亚马逊河蜿蜒如巨龙,横跨南美大陆;大峡谷的深邃纹理如同地球的伤痕;广袤的戈壁沙漠和高耸入云的喜马拉雅山脉,都在ISS的镜头下呈现出壮丽的自然画卷,证明了地球自然地貌的磅礴气势。

Palm Jumeirah of Dubai's Palm Islands, seen from space.

If you want the best view of Earth's landmarks, you'll need a ticket to space.

Some of the world's most jaw-dropping sites — both natural and man-made — only reveal their true scale and beauty when captured from 250 miles overhead.

The International Space Station has snapped images of some of these landmarks, such as the Great Barrier Reef, the Pyramids at Giza, and San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge.

Photos show how incredible landmarks look both from the ground and from way, way above.

The Amazon River
The Amazon River surrounded by Peruvian rainforest.

The river travels through the Andes Mountains of Peru and flows through Colombia, Ecuador, Bolivia, Venezuela, and Brazil before reaching the Atlantic Ocean.

The Amazon River is pictured from the International Space Station as it orbited 260 miles above Brazil in South America.

As the world's second-longest river and biggest by volume, it is relatively easy to spot from space. It runs for more than 4,000 miles.

Wadi Rum

Wadi Rum, a valley of dunes, canyons, sandstone mountains, and aged petroglyphs in Jordan, has been used in films such as "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story" and "The Martian."

Wadi Rum seen from space
Wadi Rum is a protected area and was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2011.

Wadi Rum, which is known as the "Valley of the Moon" by Jordanians, can also be seen clearly from space.

The Golden Gate Bridge

The bridge's consulting architect Irving Morrow preferred the "international orange" color of the nearly 9,000-foot, single-span suspension bridge as it increased its visibility amid the San Francisco fog, according to History.com.

The Golden Gate Bridge from space
The Golden Gate Bridge links San Francisco with the Golden Gate National Recreation Area in northern California.

The International Space Station provides the best view of the Golden Gate Bridge in winter months when fog is lighter and days are shorter.

The Grand Canyon

One of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World, the Grand Canyon is an incredible landmark that formed millions of years ago.

The Grand Canyon from space
Northern Arizona and the Grand Canyon are captured in this pair of Multi-angle Imaging Spectroradiometer (MISR) images from December 31, 2000.

To astronauts, the Grand Canyon resembles a long, flowing river at 277 miles long, 18 miles wide, and more than a mile deep in some places, per the Grand Canyon Conservancy. They're the lucky few to see the canyon in its entirety

The Great Barrier Reef
The Great Barrier Reef.

Another of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World can be found in this coral sea, located off Australia's northeastern coast, where the biggest coral-reef system in the world exists.

The Great Barrier Reef from space
An astronaut aboard the International Space Station used a powerful lens to photograph these three reefs in Australia’s Great Barrier Reef.

Also visible from the ISS, the Great Barrier Reef extends over 1,430 miles and contains almost 3,000 reefs and 890 islands, 400 coral types, 1,500 fish species, 4,000 mollusks, and over 200 bird species, according to UNESCO.

The Kennecott Copper Mine

Also known as the Bingham Canyon Mine, this is located near Salt Lake City in Utah. It's the world's largest man-made excavation, Smithsonian Magazine reported.

The Kennecott Copper Mine from space
The Kennecott Copper Mine, southwest of Salt Lake City, Utah, is one of the largest open-pit mines in the world.

Per Mining Technology, the Kennecott Copper Mine is one of the world's great open-pit mines at 2.5 miles wide and half a mile deep. It has been in operation for over a century.

The Himalayas
The Himalaya Mountain range located in Nepal.

The Himalayas have an average elevation of 20,000 feet and cover approximately 1,500 miles across countries including Pakistan, Nepal, India, China, and Bhutan

The city of Kathmandu, Nepal, seen at the bottom left of this Landsat 9 image, lies in a valley south of the Himalayan Mountains between Nepal and China.

Few mountain ranges compare to the snow-covered Himalayas: The range is visible hundreds of miles above Earth's surface to astronauts on the ISS.

Palm Jumeirah, Dubai

Palm Jumeriah in Dubai's Palm Islands is made of approximately 3.9 billion cubic feet of sand. Workers dredged up sand from the bottom of the Persian Gulf to create the shape, according to Condé Nast Traveler.

Palm Jumeirah from space
The Palm Islands are artificial islands in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

Palm Jumeirah is one of three artificial Palm Islands and the only one completed so far, is the largest artificial island in the world in the shape of a palm tree.

The Pyramids of Giza

The Pyramids of Giza were built by the Ancient Egyptians in about 2500 BC. They remain the only one of the Seven Wonders of the World still standing.

NASA astronauts on the Alpha space station snapped photos of Giza's pyramids for the first time in 2001.

The Suez Canal

The Suez Canal is a 120-mile-long canal that represents a crucial trade route between Europe and Asia by cutting out what would be a two-week journey around Africa. Every day, more than 50 ships move through the canal.

The Suez Canal from space
The Suez Canal runs north to south across the Isthmus of Suez in northeastern Egypt.

The Suez Canal, the surrounding dense urban development, and the desert landscape can be seen clearly by astronauts.
