Views of The Himalayas and Mount Everest | International Space Station
Expedition 74 flight engineer and Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) astronaut Kimiya Yui shared this short video on December 13, 2025.
The Himalayas or Himalaya is a mountain range in Asia, separating the plains of the Indian subcontinent from the Tibetan Plateau. This range has examples of the Earth's highest peaks, including the highest, Mount Everest. More than 100 peaks exceeding elevations of 7,200 m (23,600 ft) above sea level lie in the Himalayas.
Mount Everest (known locally as Sagarmāthā[a] in Nepal and Qomolangma in Tibet) is Earth's highest mountain above sea level. It lies in the Mahalangur Himal sub-range of the Himalayas and marks part of the China–Nepal border at its summit. Its height was most recently measured in 2020 by Chinese and Nepali authorities as 8,848.86 m (29,031 ft 8+1⁄2 in).
