[:ja]ルカ・パルミタノ宇宙飛行士がISSから撮影した米国の南カリフォルニアです。ロサンゼルスからサンディエゴ、メキシコのティファナまで写っています。
集合的な意味での「南カリフォルニア」は、米カリフォルニア州南部の巨大地域（megaregion）あるいは巨大都市圏（megapolitan area）で、人口は約2400万人を擁します。この大きな都市型地域にはロサンゼルス大都市圏、サンディエゴ大都市圏、およびインランド・エンパイアが含まれています。都市の帯は太平洋岸沿いにベンチュラからサウスランドとインランド・エンパイアを通り、サンディエゴさらにはメキシコ国境を越えてティフアナにまで拡がっており、サンフランシスコ・ベイエリアと共に、カリフォルニア州だけでなくアメリカ合衆国国内の主要な文化と経済の中心になっています。

[Earthview Wonders] No.1159: Southern California🇺🇸
Astronaut Luca Parmitano captured from ISS the Southern California, U.S. The image includes Los Angeles, San Diego and Tijuana, Mexico.
Southern California (popularly known as SoCal) is a geographic and cultural region that generally comprises the southern portion of California State. It includes the Los Angeles metropolitan area, the second most populous urban agglomeration in the U.S. The region generally contains 10 of California’s 53 counties: Imperial, Kern, Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego, Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo and Ventura counties. The Colorado Desert and the Colorado River are located on southern California’s eastern border with Arizona, and San Bernardino County shares a border with Nevada to the northeast. Southern California’s southern border with Baja California is part of the Mexico–United States border.
Ocean Beach Sunset in San Diego, a typical scenery of the SoCal.
