NASA astronaut Zena Cardman has revealed jaw-dropping images of Mount Everest taken from the International Space Station.
The unusual shots were captured by the American astronaut in near-infrared to give them an otherworldly look.
Zena Cardman posted Thursday, March 26: “Everest from Space Station, shot in near infrared and converted to b&w.
“Specific peaks are so hard to find from 250 miles away, going 5 miles per second, but I was perpetually enamored with the Himalaya and Karakoram.”
The image is part of a series captured during multiple passes over the region.
“I shot Everest a dozen different times, when orbit, daylight, and weather aligned, but this NIR series was probably my favorite,” Cardman wrote.
Cardman served on the International Space Station during Expeditions 73 and 74 as commander of NASA’s SpaceX Crew-11 mission, from Aug. 1, 2025, to Jan. 15.
