Astronaut Kimiya Yui captured from ISS the beautiful night view of Malay Peninsula. Green lights of squid fishing off the coast of the peninsula are captured as well.
The Malay Peninsula is a peninsula in Mainland Southeast Asia. The landmass runs approximately north–south and, at its terminus, is the southernmost point of the Asian continental mainland. The area contains Peninsular Malaysia, Southern Thailand, and the southernmost tip of Myanmar (Kawthaung). The peninsula is indigenous to or historically inhabited by the Malays, an Austronesian people. The Titiwangsa Mountains are part of the Tenasserim Hills system, and form the backbone of the peninsula. They form the southernmost section of the central cordillera which runs from Tibet through the Kra Isthmus (the peninsula’s narrowest point) into the Malay Peninsula. Fishermen use green lights to attract plankton and fish, the preferred diet of squid which is active at night.
The local scenery on the ground is as follows.
