Amazing pic!

Astronaut Don Pettit tweeted another one of his favourite photos of New Zealand from space. “South Island, New Zealand, taken from the space station.
New Zealand is typically shrouded in winter clouds, but for one orbital pass the whole island was clear. Notable features seen are Mt. Cook, the Banks Peninsula, Christchurch, Queenstown, Wānaka, and glacial-made lakes.”
