Astronaut Andreas Mogensen captured from ISS the tea estate of central Malawi.
Malawi is a landlocked country in southeast Africa, with 18 million population. Lake Malawi takes up about a third of Malawi’s area. The country is also nicknamed “The Warm Heart of Africa”, for having no experience of civil war. The country’s economy is heavily based in agriculture, with a largely rural population. While Malawi’s most important export crop is tobacco, the country also relies heavily on tea, sugarcane and coffee, with these three plus tobacco making up more than 90% of Malawi’s export revenue.
The local scenery on the ground is as follows.
