[:ja]アン・マクレーン宇宙飛行士がISSから撮影したスウェーデンの南岸、カールスクルーナ付近です。
カールスクルーナ港の全面は多数の群島により自然の要塞をなしています。スウェーデン本土にかかる橋は1本のみで、それぞれ群島とはフェリーで結ばれていおり、スウェーデン海軍の軍事基地と海港があります。1679年、スウェーデン海軍はデンマークとのスコーネ戦争で大きな損害を受けており、カールスクルーナの軍港が街の建設と同時に始まりました。海軍の再建はカールスクルーナから始まり、1711年、カールスクルーナの造船所には1,100人が働き、スウェーデンで最大の産業集散地となっていました。軍港にある最古のドックは断崖を切り開いて開設されたものですが、現在でも使用されています。

[Earthview Wonders] No.1053: Southern Sweden🇸🇪
Astronaut Anne McClain captured from ISS southern coast of Sweden near Karlskrona.
Karlskrona is known as Sweden’s only baroque city and is host to Sweden’s only remaining naval base and the headquarters of the Swedish Coast Guard. The city of Karlskrona is spread over 30 islands in the eastern part of Blekinge archipelago. The city was founded on Aug. 10, 1680 when the Royal Swedish Navy was relocated from the Stockholm area to the Trossö island which had up until then been used chiefly for farming and grazing. At the time Sweden was the dominant military power in the Baltic sea region, but needed a better strategic location against Denmark, since southern parts of Sweden had been conquered only a few decades before (Torstenson War).
The local scenery on the ground is as follows.
