[:ja]アントン・シュカプレロフ宇宙飛行士がISSから撮影したベラルーシの首都ミンスクです。
ベラルーシは、世界最北の内陸国で、国土の大部分が低地、最高点のジェルジンスカヤ丘陵でも海抜345mです。国土の20%を占めるなど湿原が豊富で、南部に最大の湿原であるポレーシエ湿地があります。国の主な天然資源は森林で、国土の45.3%もの面積を占めています。10世紀ごろ、ミンスクは、東スラブ人の支配するポロツク公国の版図に含まれていました。1067年、ニアミハ川河畔でポロツクとキエフ大公国のあいだで激しい戦闘があったことを記した史料で、ミンスクの名が初めて確認され、この年をミンスク建都の年としています。

[Earthview Wonders] No.497: Minsk, Belarus🇧🇾
Astronaut Anton Shkaplerov captured from ISS Minsk, the capital of Belarus.
Belarus is a landlocked country in Eastern Europe bordered by Russia to the northeast. Over 40% of the country is forested. Until the 20th century, different states at various times controlled the lands of modern-day Belarus. The area of today’s Minsk was settled by the Early East Slavs by the 9th century AD. Minsk was first mentioned in the name form Měneskъ (Мѣнескъ) in the Primary Chronicle for the year 1067 in association with the Battle on the River Nemiga, and 1067 is now widely accepted as the founding year of Minsk.
The local scenery on the ground is as follows.
