[:ja]クリスティーナ・コック宇宙飛行士がISSから撮影したカナダ、ロッキー山脈のビュート海峡です。SpaceX社の補給船Dragonも映っています。
ビュート海峡はブリティッシュ・コロンビア州バンクーバーの北西およそ200kmにあり、カナダ太平洋岸に浮かぶバンクーバー島とカナダ本土の間に挟まれた、長さ80km、平均幅4kmの狭い水路です。無数の島が点在し、周囲には豊かな針葉樹が生い茂っています。また、夏には野生のオルカが集まる場所として知られています。最近では、グリズリーベア（ハイイログマ、アメリカヒグマ）を観に多くの観光客が集まってきます。

[Earthview Wonders] No.1107: Bute Inlet, Canada🇨🇦
Astronaut Christina Koch captured from ISS Bute Inlet of Canadian Rockies, Canada. SpaceX’s Dragon cargo ship is also in the image.
Bute Inlet is one of the principal inlets of the British Columbia Coast. It is 80km long from the estuaries of the Homathko and Southgate Rivers at the head of the inlet, to the mouth, where it is nearly blocked by Stuart Island, and it averages about 4km in width. Bute Inlet is in a spectacular wilderness setting and is one of the most scenic waterways in the world. In the upper reaches of the inlet mountains rise 2,700m above sea level. In more recent years tourists are travelling from around the world to view grizzly bears in a natural setting and explore the wilderness of Bute Inlet.
The local scenery on the ground is as follows.
