[:ja]アン・マクレーン宇宙飛行士がISSから撮影したイタリア半島です。大都市はミラノ、ジェノバ、フィレンツェなどが写っています。
イタリアの国土は山がちであり、大陸との接触部分にアルプス山脈とアペニン山脈があり、両者の間にはポー川の流れるポー平原があります。イタリアを流れる川の大半はアドリア海かティレニア海にそそいでおり、自治体同士の境界線となっていることが多いです。また国北部には多くの湖があります。イタリア最大の島はシチリア島、次いでサルディーニャ島です。イタリア国内には火山も複数あり、シチリア島にありヨーロッパ最大の活火山であるエトナ火山や、ナポリにあるヴェスヴィオ火山などが有名です。

[Earthview Wonders] No.940: Italy🇮🇹
Astronaut Anne McClain captured from ISS Italy. Large cities on the photo are Milan (Milano), Genova, Florence (Firenze) and more.
Italy comprises the long, boot-shaped Italian Peninsula, the southern side of Alps, the large plain of the Po Valley and some islands including Sicily and Sardinia. Almost 40% of the Italian territory is mountainous, with the Alps as the northern boundary and the Apennine Mountains forming the backbone of the peninsula. In between the two lies a large plain in the valley of the Po, the largest river in Italy, which flows 652km eastward from the Cottian Alps to the Adriatic. The Po Valley is the largest plain in Italy, and it represents over 70% of the total plain area in the country. The Alpine mountain range is linked with the Apennines with the Colle di Cadibona pass in the Ligurian Alps.
