[:ja]デービッド・サンジャック宇宙飛行士がISSから撮影したカナダ、ケベック州のガスペです。
ガスペ半島は北アメリカ大陸の北部、セント・ローレンス川河口の南岸に位置する半島で、ガスペ湾は半島の先端にある町ガスペに面しています。1534年に探検家ジャック・カルティエがガスペ半島の東端に到達し、同年7月、フランソワ1世の名のもと、ヌーベル・フランスの領有を宣言、この町からフランスのカナダ植民地化（ヌーベルフランスの領有と拡大）が始まりました。住民の大多数は、フランス語を第一言語とするケベック人です。ガスペの名の由来は、先住民ミクマク族の言葉で「地の果て」を意味する「ゲスペグ」（gespeg）です。

[Earthview Wonders] No.1013: Gaspé, Canada🇨🇦
Astronaut David Saint-Jacques captured from ISS Gaspe, Quebec, Canada.
Gaspé is a city at the tip of the Gaspé Peninsula, eastern Quebec in Canada, in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Gaspé is where Jacques Cartier took possession of New France (now part of Canada) in the name of François I of France on July 24, 1534. French is the first language learnt by most of Gaspé’s population where nearly 90% of the population is French Canadian. The main rivers draining to the bay are the Dartmouth River and the York River (the latter one has its mouth in the city center of Gaspé).
The local scenery on the ground is as follows.
