This stunning view of Mount Fuji was captured from the International Space Station (ISS), revealing Japan’s iconic volcano piercing through a sea of clouds. Rising 3,776 meters (12,389 feet) above sea level, Mount Fuji is not only Japan’s tallest peak but also a sacred symbol of beauty, endurance, and national pride. Seen from orbit, its nearly symmetrical cone stands out dramatically against the surrounding landscape, showcasing the powerful forces of nature that shaped it. Mount Fuji is an active stratovolcano, with its last eruption occurring in 1707. It continues to attract millions of climbers, photographers, and spiritual seekers each year. This image, taken by astronauts aboard the ISS, highlights how Earth's natural wonders appear from above—and how even the most familiar landmarks take on new significance when seen from space. #MountFuji #EarthFromSpace #ISS #Astronomy #Volcano #Japan #Nature
