NASAさんのインスタグラム写真 - (NASAInstagram)「An astronaut aboard @ISS captured this photo of the hook shape of the Cape Cod peninsula on April 9, 2023. The peninsula extends about 60 miles from Massachusetts’ southern mainland and serves as a natural barrier between Cape Cod Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. This unique shape was caused by glacial erosion, movement of the Laurentide Ice Sheet, and natural processes like waves and wind. This peninsula is home to many ecosystems, with over 450 species of amphibians, reptiles, fish, birds, and mammals, some of which are rare or endangered. Image Description: Astronaut photograph of the Cape Cod peninsula, which is shaped like a hook that extends to the left and curves under and to the right. The peninsula has light tan coasts and sand dunes at its crest. Darker patches of dark blue and green-brown indicate freshwater ponds and harbors, respectively. The peninsula is surrounded by the dark blue waters of the Atlantic, though the water is bright green along the coastlines. #NASA #Space #Earth #CapeCod #Ocean #Water」6月22日 2時22分
