Astronaut Ivan Vagner captured from ISS Auyán-tepui of Guiana Highlands.
Auyán-tepui is a tepui in Bolívar state, Venezuela. It is the most visited and one of the largest (but not the highest) tepuis in the Guiana Highlands, with a summit area of 666.9km2 and an estimated slope area of 715km2. The unevenly heart-shaped summit plateau of Auyán-tepui is heavily inclined, rising from around 1,600m in the northwest to a maximum of 2,450m in the southeast. It is incised from the north by a vast valley, the Cañón del Diablo (Devil’s Canyon), formed by the Churún River. The larger western portion of the plateau is partially forested, whereas the eastern part comprises mostly bare rock with only patchy vegetation cover. The mountain hosts a number of extensive cave systems.
The local scenery on the ground is as follows.
