The International Space Station was orbiting 267 miles above the south Pacific Ocean east of New Zealand when this photograph was taken from a window on the seven-windowed cupola.

What a beautiful view of the south Pacific Ocean & New Zealand! I visited it during my #RoundTheWorld trip & it actually reminds me that Christmas is celebrated very differently around the world, as in New Zealand, Christmas comes in the middle of summer.
