[:ja]トマ・ペスケ宇宙飛行士がISSから撮影した地中海のフランス領、コルシカ島です。No.204でも紹介していますが、コルシカ島は地中海では、シチリア島、サルデーニャ島、キプロス島に次いで4番目に大きく、約30万人の人口を擁します。
コルシカ島は歴史的に有名な場所で、フランス皇帝ナポレオン1世の出身地としてだけでなく、コルシカ独立戦争でも知られています。コルシカ独立戦争は、1729年12月にジェノヴァ共和国に抵抗する農民反乱が起こったのを契機に、1769年6月までの40年間にわたって、コルシカ人が周辺諸外国の干渉と戦った独立戦争です。最終的には、ジェノヴァから領有権を購入したフランス王国の侵攻により相手を変え、2度目のフランスの侵攻により、コルシカはフランスに併合されました。
美しい地上の様子はこちらです。
ちなみに、他の人工衛星が映っている気がするのは気のせいでしょうか。

[Earthview Wonders] No.282: Corse🇫🇷
Astronaut Thomas Pesquet captured from ISS Corse or Corsica, the French territory and fourth largest island in the Mediterranean Sea after Sicily, Sardinia and Cyprus, with about 300,000 population. Corsica was introduced in No.204 as well.
Corse is a famous historical place known for not only Napoleon but also its Independence War. After being ruled by the Republic of Genoa since 1284, Corsica was briefly an independent Corsican Republic from 1755 until it was conquered by France in 1769.
Beautiful scenery of the island is as follows.
It seems another satellite is on this photo..
