Russian Cosmonaut views of The Andes, Chile & Bolivia | International Space Station
This video was shared by Expedition 74 Station Commander and Cosmonaut Sergey Kud-Sverchkov of Russia aboard the International Space Station: "Flying over the Andes, Chile, and Bolivia. Working on the orbital station, you involuntarily become accustomed to the views of our planet. You see the same places dozens of times—continents, oceans, islands, mountain ranges. It becomes "just a view from the window." But sometimes you stop and, looking at Earth, think:
"Damn it, our planet is so amazing! And how extraordinary it is to soar above it, being able to travel between continents in a matter of minutes and see all this beauty!"
...and then you grab your documentation, your tools, and go back to work."
The Andes are the longest continental mountain range in the world, forming a continuous highland along the western edge of South America.
Chile, officially the Republic of Chile, is a country in western South America. It is the southernmost country in the world and the closest to Antarctica, extending along a narrow strip of land between the Andes Mountains and the Pacific Ocean.
Bolivia, officially the Plurinational State of Bolivia, is a landlocked country located in central South America. It is bordered by Brazil to the north and east, Paraguay to the southeast, Argentina to the south, Chile to the southwest, and Peru to the west.
