Astronaut Shane Kimbrough captured from ISS Big Sky Resort, Montana, U.S.
Big Sky is an unincorporated census-designated place (CDP) in Gallatin and Madison counties in southwestern Montana. The “Meadow” area of Big Sky lies in an alpine valley formed during the Cretaceous period. Initially called the “Gallatin Canyon Basin”, the Meadow is braided with small rivers that channel mountain snow run-off. In Oct. 2013, two large ski resports merged and are now managed by Big Sky Resort, and both are alpine ski and golf resorts.
The local scenery on the ground is as follows.
