ISS047e22133 (03/27/2016) ---The crew of Expedition 47 aboard the International Space Station captured this image of a massive iceberg causing shipping to pay close attention. It is floating in the southern Atlantic Ocean, near the South Georgia and South Sandwich Islands. Smaller pieces cluster around the main iceberg. causing further shipping concern. The closest continent is the bottom tip of South America (Argentina) and the Falkland Islands.

iss072e941128 (April 2, 2025) --- This long duration photograph, taken from the International Space Station as it orbited 271 miles above the South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands in the southern Atlantic Ocean, highlights star trails and Earth's atmospheric glow moments before the orbital outpost soared into a sunrise. In the foreground (from left), are the Soyuz MS-26 spacecraft docked to the Rassvet module, a set of the station's main solar arrays, and the Canadarm2 robotic arm.

Like a ship carving its way through the sea, the South Georgia and South Sandwich Islands parted the clouds. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Terra satellite acquired this natural-color image on February 2, 2017. The ripples in the clouds are known as gravity waves.
