[:ja]ルカ・パルミタノ宇宙飛行士がISSから撮影したイタリアのサルデーニャ島です。
サルデーニャは、地中海ではシチリア島に次いで2番目に大きな島で、島全体がイタリアの自治州です。イタリア本土との歴史的・地理的・文化的な差異が大きいことから特別自治州という位置付けになっていますが、あくまでも本国の一部です。かつてファシズム時代にカルボーニアが炭坑都市として開発され栄えましたが、今日でも金と銀の鉱山が島内で操業しており、また、コスタ・ズメラルダに代表される観光業、工業、商業、サービス業、IT産業が中心的な産業となっています。またワインとローカル料理が有名になり、島の収入源として成長しています。

[Earthview Wonders] No.1069: Sardinia, Italy🇮🇹
Astronaut Luca Parmitano captured from ISS Sardinia, Italy.
Sardinia is the second-largest island in the Mediterranean Sea. For its indigenous language and the other minority languages spoken on the island (Sassarese, Gallurese, Algherese Catalan and Ligurian Tabarchino), Sardinia is granted and classified as one of the 5 autonomous regions in the country. Due to the variety of Sardinia’s ecosystems, which include mountains, woods, plains, stretches of largely uninhabited territory, streams, rocky coasts, and long sandy beaches, Sardinia has been metaphorically described as a micro-continent. Also, Sardinia is home to nearly 4 million sheep, almost half of the entire Italian assets and that makes the island one of the areas of the world with the highest density of sheep along with some parts of UK and New Zealand.
The local scenery on the ground is as follows.
