Earth Observation
ISS040-E-011049 (13 June 2014) --- One of the Expedition 40 crew members aboard the International Space Station photographed this panoramic scene of South Africa and Lesotho on June 13. In the easterly-looking view, Capetown can easily be delineated near bottom center. The country of Lesotho -- one of only three nations in the world which are landlocked and totally surrounded by a single country -- is near the lava plateau at top right.
