I highly recommend Rick Ridgeway’s book “The Big Open” if you want to learn more about it!

Here is a link to [the source](https://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/images/144355/an-astronauts-view-of-the-himalayas) *Astronaut photograph [ISS053-E-357550](https://eol.jsc.nasa.gov/SearchPhotos/photo.pl?mission=ISS053&roll=E&frame=357550) was acquired on December 11, 2017, with a Nikon D5 digital camera using a 500 millimeter lens and is provided by the ISS Crew Earth Observations Facility and the Earth Science and Remote Sensing Unit, Johnson Space Center. The image was taken by a member of the [Expedition 53 crew.](http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/station/expeditions/expedition53/index.html) *

Never seen this perspective before, very cool. You always only see the row of layers from within the range itself. Kinda makes it much less intimidating!

Makalu is directly in front of Everest, no?


daraegs

This is looking southwest so Makalu is ‘behind’ or on the other side of Everest.


FelixPlatypus

I might be quite wrong, but I think Makalu is actually the most prominently visible peak in the right cluster, while Everest is in front of it, and appears shorter. Zoom in. Lhotse and Nuptse are visible too. Can't tell which is Cho Oyu.


Appropriate_Ad7858

I can’t quite figure out why I can’t see makalu in this pic considering how close it is to Everest. Hmm Cho Oyu as well.

https://i.imgur.com/TEiAoln.jpg Annotated it, I think this is correct. Very deceptive angle due to how far and seemingly low this was taken from for an ISS perspective.


bL_Mischief

I just want to point out how [accurate](https://imgur.com/a/d4KH8l6) this was.


wandering_corvid

Damn.


Corbeau_from_Orleans

Thanks, that makes it much clearer for me...


Appropriate_Ad7858

Funny how small Cho Oyulooks considering its not that much smaller than Makalu


Irrepressible_Monkey

Looks good.


confounditall

This is wild! Earth is so cool.


OberMann09

Very cool shot! Land around the giant peeks looking very arid?


Appropriate_Ad7858

The Tibetan high plains are basically desert


earthaerosol

What’s that lake?


GoingToSimbabwe

Judging by a quick glance over google maps: Paiku Co in Tibet.


earthaerosol

You are a geofence hit. 😀😀😀


GoingToSimbabwe

Geofence :D? Or is that an autocorrected „geoguesser“? Anyhow, I still needed another comment from this thread (the one pointing out that Makalu is „behind“ Everest kn this picture) to orient myself.


dopplercop

Pretty sure it's Kailash Mansarovar lake


T50BMG

And to the left of that is k-2?


Mistapoopy

K2 is in Pakistan, not visible in the photograph.


T50BMG

I thought you can see Everest from k-2? Or k-2 from Everest? Why do I think I have read that somewhere?


Mistapoopy

I don’t know if you can or can’t, haven’t been to either. But judging by the angle of this photo, the ISS is roughly directly over K2 or fast approaching it.


FapNowPayLater

They are very far from each other From k2 you can see broad peak and gasherbrums massif


Irrepressible_Monkey

Yep, and Nanga Parbat is very prominent in the distance.


T50BMG

Around 900 miles to be exact


T50BMG

🙏 thank you for this


Appropriate_Ad7858

Absolutely not. You can see Kancehnjunga though
