Matthias’s first Earth Observation pictures during his Cosmic Kiss from Patagonia in Chile and Argentina. He posted these images to his social media on 25 November with the caption:
My first Earth observation pics! Patagonia in Chile and Argentina. These images remind me of time spent hiking in Torres del Paine, sleeping in a tent on the mountainside and visiting huge glaciers that cracked and rumbled as if they were alive. Thanks to @europeanspaceagency’s Earth Observation office for helping me identify these lakes, glaciers and peninsulas. I missed Ushuaia and Isla Grande de Tierra del Fuego today, but they are on my list to capture as I relive my world travels from space.
