Astronaut captures stunning view of Antarctica from Polar Orbit in breathtaking video

A group of four private astronauts made history by flying over both the North and South Poles. They are part of SpaceX’s Fram2 mission, the first human spaceflight to orbit Earth from pole to pole. One of the astronauts, Chun Wang, shared a breathtaking video showing Antarctica from 460 km above.

Wang described the view as completely white, with no human activity visible. He posted the video on social media, saying, “Hello, Antarctica”. The footage was taken from the Cupola, a special glass window on SpaceX’s Crew Dragon spacecraft, which allows astronauts to get wide views of space and Earth.

People online were amazed by the video. Many left comments calling the view “incredible,” “breathtaking,” and “amazing”. Some even asked for high-resolution images of the mountains visible in the footage.
