This video was taken by the crew of Expedition 30 on board the International Space Station. The sequence of shots was taken December 30, 2011 from 08:20:04 to 08:46:58 GMT, on a pass from over the South Atlantic Ocean, west of South Africa, to far southern Kazakhstan, near the border of Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan. The pass begins looking back from the ISS over the Atlantic Ocean. Altocumulus clouds are seen before land appears. The first land is that of western Africa, over the Namib Desert. The pass continues over central Africa, which is mostly covered by clouds. Once past the clouds, the ISS passes northeast toward southern Sudan, and finally to the Red Sea. As the ISS crosses the Red Sea, the Dahlak Archipelago is seen with reefs and shoals surrounding the islands. The ISS continues to the Arabian Peninsula, across the northern Persian Gulf, and across the Zagros Mountains in Iran. Finally, the pass ends over Iran toward the southern half of the Caspian Sea and Elburz Mountains.
