[:ja]デービッド・サンジャック宇宙飛行士がISSから撮影したバンクーバーとブリティッシュコロンビア州の太平洋岸です。バンクーバーはちょうど右下の雲に隠れています。
バンクーバー市のみの人口は約64万人で同国第8位ですが、都市圏人口は210万人と同第3位の都市圏を形成しています。民族や言語が多様で、人口のおよそ52%は第一言語が同州の公用語にあたる英語ではありません。林業が同市最大の産業で、都市部ながら自然に囲まれた都市として知られていることから、観光業が発達しており、同市第2の産業となっています。バンクーバーは西岸海洋性気候に属し、カナダ国内で最も温暖な気候を持つ都市の1つです。

[Earthview Wonders] No.1123: Vancouver, Canada🇨🇦
Astronaut David Saint-Jacques captured from ISS Vancouver and British Columbia coast, Canada. Vancouver is just under the cloud at the lower right corner.
The Greater Vancouver area had a population of 2.5 million in 2016, making it the third-largest metropolitan area in Canada. Vancouver is one of the most ethnically and linguistically diverse cities in Canada according to that census; 52% of its residents have a first language other than English. Roughly 30% of the city’s inhabitants are of Chinese heritage. Major film production studios in Vancouver and nearby Burnaby have turned Greater Vancouver and nearby areas into one of the largest film production centres in North America, earning it the nickname “Hollywood North”.
The local scenery on the ground is as follows.
