[:ja]2019年3月15日にクライストチャーチにある2つのモスクで銃乱射事件が発生し、50名が死亡しました。亡くなった方々のご冥福をお祈り致します。
アレックス・ゲルスト宇宙飛行士がISSから撮影したニュージーランド南島のクライストチャーチです。
クライストチャーチは、ニュージーランド南島中部、カンタベリー平野東海岸側に位置し、人口40万人を擁する国内第2の都市です。緑溢れる街並みから「イングランド以外で最もイングランドらしい街」と称され、市街地にはエイヴォン川が流れ、740を超える公園が設置され「ガーデンシティ（庭の街）」と呼ばれます。カンタベリー平野を中心に酪農、畜産、農業が盛んに行われています。このような美しい街で悲しい事件が起こるのは残念なことです。

[Earthview Wonders] No.724: Christchurch, New Zealand🇳🇿
Prayers to those who lost lives in the terrorist attack in Christchurch on March 15.
Astronaut Alex Gerst captured from ISS Christchurch, New Zealand.
Christchurch with 400,000 residents is the largest city in the South Island of New Zealand and the seat of the Canterbury Region. The Avon River flows through the centre of the city, with an urban park located along its banks. The large number of public parks and well-developed residential gardens with many trees has given Christchurch the name of The Garden City. Agriculture is the historic mainstay of Christchurch’s economy. The early presence of the University of Canterbury and the heritage of the city’s academic institutions in association with local businesses has fostered a number of technology-based industries.
It is hard to imagine such a tragic incident took place in this beautiful city.
The local scenery on the ground is as follows.
