The most impressive landmarks on Earth when viewed from space

Seeing the Earth from above through a series of photos of ‘seemingly unfamiliar’ places, it turns out, ‘incredibly familiar’ recorded by NASA.

Anti-Atlas Mountains, Morocco. The photo was taken by NASA using the ASTER (a high resolution imaging tool, using technology to measure reflected radiation and heat emission) on NASA’s Terra satellite. The mountain range formed about 80 million years ago, when the African continent and Eurasian continent collided. The mountain range includes diverse components, such as limestone, sandstone, plaster and granite, according to CNN. Qinghai Lake, China’s largest lake, viewed from above through NASA’s EarthKAM lens. Qinghai Lake is located on the Tibetan Plateau, stretching over 4,300 square kilometers and about 25.6 meters deep, according to CNN. Paris, France looks strange when taken from NASA’s Terra satellite. The Empty Quarter Desert, Saudi Arabia. NASA’s EarthKAM captured a beautiful intersection between the suburbs of As Sulayyil Sulayel and the Rub ‘al Khali Desert in Saudi Arabia (Empty Quarter). It is considered the largest uninterrupted sand desert in the world. Grand Canyon is America’s most famous national park, stretching about 446 km. Seen from NASA’s Terra satellite, the red rock patterns in the mountain look like a work of art, according to CNN. Patagonia, Chile. NASA has been using ASTER to keep track of shrinking glaciers. This is a warning of global warming problem. China’s Great Wall, spanning more than 2,000 kilometers, is believed to have been built in the 3rd century BC. This ancient fortress is currently one of the most visited heritage sites in the world. Photo: NASA. The Rio Gurupi, Brazil is part of the Gurupi biological reserve.
