Egmont National Park, nearing the west coast of the North Island of New Zealand, is pictured as the International Space Station orbited roughly 270 miles above. The snow-capped stratovolcano, Mount Taranaki, sits at roughly 8,300 feet (~ 2,500 meters), surrounded by lush forests that provide strong visibility from low-Earth orbit.
