Apollo 8 View of Earth

A striking view from the Apollo 8 spacecraft showing nearly the entire
Western Hemisphere, from the mouth of the St. Lawrence River, including nearby
Newfoundland, to Tierra del Fuego at the southern tip of South America. Central
America is clearly outlined. Nearly all of South America is covered by clouds
except the high Andes mountain chain along the west coast.
