Cosmonaut Photos: The Bahamas | International Space Station

These images were shared by Expedition 74 Station Commander and Cosmonaut Sergey Kud-Sverchkov of Russia aboard the International Space Station: "Let's brighten up the cold, snowy days with the turquoise waters of a tropical sea! 🏝 This time, let's take a look at the Bahamas. Honestly, it's hard to tear your eyes away from the Bahamas (or Lucayan Islands, as they're also known)—the colors and shapes are so amazing . . . Have a nice day everyone!"

The Bahamas, officially the Commonwealth of the Bahamas, is an island country of the Lucayan Archipelago consisting of more than 700 islands, cays, and islets in the Atlantic Ocean; north of Cuba and Hispaniola (Haiti and the Dominican Republic); northwest of the Turks and Caicos Islands; southeast of the U.S. state of Florida and east of the Florida Keys.
