NASA.City Lights- France to Croatia (2011.12.11)

This video was taken by the crew of Expedition 30 on board the International Space Station. The sequence of shots was taken December 11, 2011 from 01:44:06 to 01:47:24 GMT, on a pass from France, just west of Paris, to the far south corner of Croatia, near the Adriatic Sea. This short video looks southeast from France toward the Italian Peninsula. Small Western European cities can be seen throughout the video as the Alps Mountains begin to appear with snow-covered tops. The snow can be differentiated from the surrounding cloud because the snow on the mountains appear very jagged, and the clouds to the north are very smooth. Further downtrack from the Alps, the Italian Peninsula appears under cloud as the track finishes over the Adriatic Sea and southern Croatia.
