Astronaut aboard ISS captured beautiful night view of Malay Peninsula. Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore are in this image.
The Malay Peninsula is a peninsula in Mainland Southeast Asia. The landmass runs approximately north–south and, at its terminus, is the southernmost point of the Asian continental mainland. The area contains Peninsular Malaysia, Southern Thailand, and the southernmost tip of Myanmar (Kawthaung). The peninsula is indigenous to or historically inhabited by the Malays, an Austronesian people. The Titiwangsa Mountains are part of the Tenasserim Hills system, and form the backbone of the peninsula. They form the southernmost section of the central cordillera which runs from Tibet through the Kra Isthmus (the peninsula’s narrowest point) into the Malay Peninsula.
The local scenery on the ground is as follows.
