[:ja]リッキー・アーノルド宇宙飛行士がISSから撮影した西アフリカのガンビアです。
ガンビアは、西アフリカ西岸に位置し、西は北大西洋に面し、ガンビア川の河口を除いた全土をセネガルに取り囲まれています。ガンビアはアフリカ大陸最小の国土面積を持し、ガンビア川の両側の国土は最大幅は48kmに過ぎません。国土の大部分がサバンナ地帯であり、国土のうち1300平方キロメートルをガンビア川が占めます。農業が主で、落花生や米が主要生産品です英語が通じることもあって、ヨーロッパ諸国から気軽に行ける観光地として近年観光業が盛んになりつつあります。

[Earthview Wonders] No.630: Gambia🇬🇲
Astronaut Ricky Arnold captured from ISS Gambia of Western Africa.
The Gambia is a country in West Africa that is almost entirely surrounded by Senegal with the exception of its western coastline along the Atlantic Ocean. The Gambia is situated on either side of the Gambia River, the nation’s namesake, and the north-south distance of the country is only 48km. It is the smallest country within mainland Africa. The Gambia’s economy is dominated by farming, fishing and, especially, tourism. In 2015, 48.6% of the population lived in poverty, and in rural areas poverty is even more widespread with a higher proportion of the population being poor (almost 70%). #Banjul
The local scenery on the ground is as follows.
