ISS008-E-13212 (26 January 2004) --- This image of the El Paso-Juarez area on the U.S.-Mexico border, photographed by an Expedition 8 crewmember, is the 100,000th photograph of Earth that astronauts have taken from the International Space Station (ISS). The Rio Grande can be seen meandering through the area, forming the boundary between the sister cities of El Paso, Texas and Juarez, Chihuahua. North is to the right in this image, and the setting sun has cast the east side of the Sierra Juarez and Franklin Mountains into shadow.
