 This cool photo of Mount Fuji in Japan was taken by an astronaut onboard the International Space Station on 27 May 2010 using a Kodak DCS460 Electronic Still Camera with a 800 mm lens.
Mount Fuji, located on Honshu Island, is the highest mountain in Japan at 3,776.24m (12,389 ft). An active stratovolcano that last erupted in 1707–08, Mount Fuji lies about 100 kilometres (60 mi) south-west of Tokyo and can be seen from there on a clear day. Mount Fuji’s exceptionally symmetrical cone is snow-capped several months a year.

  1. It could be on any alien world as seen from above. I don't see Godzilla loitering in the area or Dr. No's secret lair down in the caldera...are you sure it's Earth?

    1. Godzilla and Mothra should be battling it out in the crater.

      No wonder the Japanese revere the mountain.

    2. Don't forget about Rodan.
