Floating Over Coast

2/21/2025; 5 minutes

This flight path perfectly aligns with South America's Pacific Coast. The whole coast is dry, revealing a beautiful range of colors of the land below. Clouds tell the story, as the moist wind comes in over the Pacific, then the clouds dissipate as the air rises over the Andes Mountains, and clouds reform over the land beyond. Steve Thomas wonderful Guitarscapes, with soulful electric guitar enhanced with digital magic, provides the perfect mindset to gracefully watch the Earth below. The images were captured by astronaut Megan McArthur aboard ISS Expedition 66 on October 31, 2021. Recorded on 10/31/2021. (#40514)
