[:ja]油井亀美也宇宙飛行士がISSから撮影したブータンです。画像のブラマプトラ川が左にカーブする付近の右側（北側）がブータンです。
ブータンは、北は中国、東西南はインドと国境を接する南アジアの国家です。長年鎖国政策をとっていましたが、1971年に国際連合加盟。翌年に国民総幸福量という功利主義を採用しました。殺生を禁じている宗教上の理由と、資源保護の観点から、川で魚を取る事を禁じており、食用の魚は川の下流にあたるインドからの輸入に頼っています。また、気候は、標高3,000m以上の北部ヒマラヤ山脈の高山・ツンドラ気候、標高1,200mから3,000mの中部のモンスーン気候、標高1,200m未満の南部タライ平原の亜熱帯性気候が並存しています。

[Earthview Wonders] No.302: Bhutan🇧🇹
Astronaut Kimiya Yui captured from ISS Bhutan. In the image, Bhutan is located to the right(north) of where Brahmaputra River curves to the left.
Bhutan is a landlocked country in South Asia located in the Eastern Himalayas, bordered by China and India. The independence of Bhutan has endured for centuries, and the territory was never colonized in its history.
In 1971, Bhutan was admitted to the United Nations, and in 1972, the country adopted “gross national happiness (GNH).” Bhutan is also notable for pioneering the concept of gross national happiness.
The local scenery on the ground is as follows.
