[:ja]デービッド・サンジャック宇宙飛行士がISSから撮影したキルギス東部の天山山脈です。東に中国、北にカザフスタンを臨みます。
キルギスは中央アジアに位置する国土全体の40%が標高3000mを超える山国です。隣国のカザフスタンや中国とは異なり、国内に砂漠は存在せず、この地方の中では気候に恵まれています。経済は農業および牧畜、鉱業が主で、農業は主として輸出品目にもなっている綿花、タバコの栽培が活発に行われています。鉱業は金、水銀、アンチモンなどで、1997年に採掘がはじまったクムトール鉱山は、世界屈指の金鉱山です。
天山山脈の地上の様子はこちらです。

[Earthview Wonders] No.695: Kygyzstan and Tian Shan Mountains🇰🇬
Astronaut David Saint-Jacques captured from ISS Kyrgyzstan and Tian Shan Mountains.
Kyrgyzstan or Kyrgyz is a landlocked country in Central Asia. Although geographically isolated by its highly mountainous terrain, which has helped preserve its ancient culture, the country has been at the crossroads of several great civilizations as part of the Silk Road and other commercial and cultural routes. Kyrgyzstan has significant deposits of metals including gold and rare-earth metals. Due to the country’s predominantly mountainous terrain, less than 8% of the land is cultivated, and this is concentrated in the northern lowlands and the fringes of the Fergana Valley.
The local scenery of Tian Shan Mountains on the ground is as follows.
