This video was taken by the crew of Expedition 30 on board the International Space Station. The sequence of shots was taken January 24, 2012 from 02:33:37 to 02:39:34 GMT, on a pass from northwestern Africa to the western coast of Italy. This video begins over the northwestern coast of Africa, looking northeast towards the Iberian Peninsula. The ISS continues to travel northeast with the Strait of Gibraltar to the west and the Mediterranean Sea below and to the east. The Canadian robotic arm blocks some of the view of Earth from the Cupola during this video. As the pass continues northeast, the Aurora Borealis can be seen far north from the ISS. The pass ends near Italy, where a few large cities, such as Milan and Rome, can be seen.
