The International Space Station (ISS), stationed in space 400 kilometers above the Earth and circling the Earth, is the second home for astronauts. A team of astronauts is always aboard the ISS and carrying out science experiments. An astronaut present on the ISS has seen 'white spots' on Earth from there. European Space Agency (ESA) astronaut 'Andreas Mogensen' has shared the picture related to this. Let us know what 'Andreas Mogensen' saw from so high.

'Andreas Mogensen' is currently the commander of the team which is deployed on the ISS. She revealed the 'white spots' in her Instagram post. Wrote that he saw icebergs floating in the South Atlantic from space. He did not need any telescope.

He said that if someone had asked him before going on the mission whether icebergs on Earth could be seen from space without a telescope, Andreas' answer would have been no. Andreas says that after reaching the ISS, he came to know that icebergs floating on Earth can be seen from space.

Andreas shared 2 pictures. In these, icebergs floating in the blue waters of the sea are clearly visible. Along with sharing the picture, Andreas also expressed concern over climate change. Wrote that glaciers are melting rapidly and sea level is rising. Places like Maldives will disappear from existence in the next 70 years.

In the image shared by Andreas, apart from a giant iceberg, many small icebergs are visible. More than three and a half thousand people have liked this picture. Users are also writing comments. One user wrote that the sight of icebergs from space is surprising. Describing the picture as wonderful, people have expressed their concern over global warming.
