International Space Station captures stunning views of New Zealand

 Astronauts on the International Space Station have shared a bird’s eye view of Aotearoa without (mostly) its long white cloud.

The station took about three minutes to track from the west side of the lower South Island to the east of the North Island on Monday, passing over the West Coast, Wellington and Hawke’s Bay on its way.

Video tweeted by ISS Above – a device that streams live views of the earth – showed the view from the station as it flew over above the country.

The snow-capped Southern Alps can be clearly seen, and eventually the lower and eastern edges of the North Island are also in shot.

According to MetService, a west to southwest low brought clear skies across the country on Monday, making it possible for the country to be seen so clearly from space.

Fresh snow had also recently fallen across much of both islands, which is visible in the video.

The ISS Above Twitter account said that the three-minute video shows one of the longest passes the space station can get across the country – when passing from the west coast to the east coast, the trip can be as short as 30 seconds.

They are covered in green grass that turns brown during the dry season It is  called  the  Chocolate Hills  not because it's made of  chocolate  but because of its color. In the rainy season, the grass blanketing the  hills  gives them a soft and lush appearance. While in the summer, the vegetation dies off and turns to a chocolatey brown hue, giving them their  name . The main viewing point of the  Chocolate Hills  is the government-owned  Chocolate Hills  Complex in Carmen,  Bohol , about 55 km (34 miles) from the regional capital Tagbilaran. 2.  Batad Batad is a village of fewer than 1500 people , situated among the Ifugao rice terraces.

what if humans don't have bones ?

  Explanation: Our  skeleton  is a very rigid structure of  bones   which provides support for our muscles, skin and its task is also to protect our vital organs.
