[:ja]ジャック・フィッシャー宇宙飛行士がISSから撮影した、オマーンのラス・マドラカです。フィッシャー宇宙飛行士は、くまのプーさんに出てくる蜂の巣のようだとコメントしています。
オマーンは中東の絶対君主制国家で、石油ルートとして著名なホルムズ海峡の航路を領海内に持ちます。画像からも砂漠がちなイメージは把握できますが、実際、全土が砂漠気候に属し、通常の河川がほとんど存在しません。
地上の様子はこちらです。

[Earthview Wonders] No.270: Oman🇴🇲
Astronaut Jack Fischer captured from ISS Ras Madrakah of Oman. Fischer commented “This definitely looks like a bee-hive to me, with a fat bee stuck stinger-out & Winnie-the-Pooh style at the entrance…”.
Oman is an absolute monarchy in the Middle East. It holds a strategically important position at the mouth of the Persian Gulf. As can be recognized from the image, a vast gravel desert plain covers the land. Oman generally has one of the hottest climates in the world.
The local scenery on the ground is as follows.
