[:ja]デービッド・サンジャック宇宙飛行士がISSから撮影した米ニューハンプシャー州のワシントン山です。
ワシントン山は、米国北東部の最高峰（1,917m）で、ミシシッピ川以東では麓との標高差が最も高い山です。気象が危険なほど変わりやすいことで有名です。2010年までの76年間で、頂上の気象観測所で記録した地表最大風速は、1934年4月12日午後の372km/hでした。ワシントン山の気象は異常なほど変わりやすいのですが、これは、主に大西洋から南に、メキシコ湾地域、太平洋岸北西部と幾つかの嵐道が集まっていることが一部寄与しています。

[Earthview Wonders] No.944: Mt. Washington🇺🇸
Astronaut David Saint-Jacques captured from ISS Mt. Washington, New Hampshire, U.S.
Mount Washington, called Agiocochook by some Native American tribes, is the highest peak in the Northeastern U.S. at 1,916.6m and the most topographically prominent mountain east of the Mississippi River. The mountain is notorious for its erratic weather. This is partly due to the convergence of several storm tracks, mainly from the Atlantic to the south, the Gulf region and the Pacific Northwest. On the afternoon of April 12, 1934, the Mount Washington Observatory recorded a windspeed of 372km/h at the summit, the world record from 1934 until 1996.
The local scenery on the ground is as follows.
