[:ja]デービッド・サンジャック宇宙飛行士がISSから撮影したセントローレンス湾とセントローレンス川です。
セントローレンス湾はカナダ南東部に位置する湾で、セントローレンス川を経由して五大湖から大西洋への湖水の出口です。ここに注ぐセントローレンス川の河口は世界最大の規模で、大西洋と工業地帯である五大湖周辺を結ぶ重要な航路でもあります。タイセイヨウサケやマス類、カラフトシシャモをはじめ、セントローレンス川水系がもたらす有機物や微生物などの豊富な栄養素により、豊かな漁場となっています。

Astronaut David Saint-Jacques captured from ISS The River and the Gulf of Saint Lawrence.
The Gulf of Saint Lawrence is the outlet of the North American Great Lakes via the Saint Lawrence River into the Atlantic Ocean. Besides the Saint Lawrence River itself, many significant streams empty into the gulf. The gulf has provided a historically important marine fishery for various First Nations that have lived on its shores for millennia and used its waters for transportation.
The local scenery on the ground is as follows.
