[:ja]ジェシカ・メイヤー宇宙飛行士がISSから撮影したトルコの首都アンカラです。
アンカラの主要部分はウルス (Ulus) と呼ばれるオスマン帝国時代以前からの歴史的旧市街と、1920年代以降にトルコ共和国政府によってその南にイェニシェヒル (Yenişehir) という名で計画的に建設された新市街、およびその郊外地区からなり、政府の施設はイェニシェヒルに集中しています。古代ヒッタイト時代から人類が居住していた跡が残っていますが、フリュギア時代に規模が拡大したアンキュラ (Ancyra) と呼ばれた都市が、現在のアンカラ旧市街の始まりです。大陸性気候で、春と秋に降雨が集中し、冬季は非常に寒冷で-20度以下まで下がることも珍しくありません。

[Earthview Wonders] No.999: Ankara, Turkey🇹🇷
Astronaut Jessica Meir captured from ISS Ankara, the capital of Turkey.
Ankara with 5 million population is Turkey’s second largest city after Istanbul.
On April 23, 1920, the Grand National Assembly of Turkey was established in Ankara, which became the headquarters of Atatürk and the Turkish National Movement during the Turkish War of Independence. Ankara is a very old city with various Hittite, Phrygian, Hellenistic, Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman archaeological sites. The city has a borderline hot dry-summer continental climate and a cold semi-arid climate. Due to its elevation and inland location, Ankara has cold and snowy winters, and hot and dry summers.
The local scenery on the ground is as follows.
