This video was taken by the crew of Expedition 30 on board the International Space Station. The sequence of shots was taken February 4, 2012 from 21:39:49 to 21:46:32 GMT, on a pass from western Algeria to southeastern Croatia along the Adriatic Sea. This video begins looking north from northwestern Africa towards the Strait of Gibraltar and the Iberian Peninsula. In the middle of the Iberian Peninsula, Madrid, the capital and largest city of Spain, stands out brightly. As the pass continues northeast over the Mediterranean Sea, the coastline of France along with the Balearic Islands is seen. As the ISS continues to travel northeast, the northern half of Italy is seen under clouds before the pass ends over Croatia.
