Jessica Meir @Astro_Jessica: Last year at this time – my first views gazing at Earth’s glorious mountains from above. Lake Issyk-Kul & Tian Shan Mtns in Eastern Kyrgyzstan (1) & Lake Ayakum on the Tibetan Plateau (3). Tian Shan means “Mountains of Heaven” – aptly named for one of my 1st views @Space_Station
