Even though he's a busy guy, Expedition 34 astronaut Chris Hadfield still takes the time to share some of his amazing views from orbit aboard the ISS. One of his most recent photos is this stunning view of Andean ridges rising up from a blue haze
of Pacific fog
, the arc of Earth's horizon in the distance. Gorgeous! (
Edit:
according to a
labeled image by Peter Caltner
, this is looking southeast into northern Argentina - no Pacific in view. So the haze is coming from the valley, not the ocean.)
Shared on Twitter
at 6:25 p.m. EST, this has quickly become one of Hadfield's more popular images -- and for good reason. In fact sometimes it's hard to keep up with this high-flying Canadian, who easily posts half a dozen or more photos from all across the world every day on Twitter,
, and
his Google+ profile
(which is managed by his son Evan.) But since the ISS goes around the globe 16 times a day, there's certainly no shortage of sights for Chris and the Exp. 34 crew!

And for even more space adventures,
tune in to the CSA website
on February 7 at 10:30 a.m. EST when Col. Hadfield will have a live chat with William Shatner, building upon their brief (but immensely popular) impromptu
web conversation
from last month. He'll also be taking questions from "space tweeps" on-site at CSA.
