Many people first encountered Chris Hadfield’s space photography through his widely followed Twitter feed from the International Space Station. This book revisits that perspective with a broader context, offering a fresh look at the planet through photographs, including images that have not been shared before.

Divided by continent and arranged as a single idealised ISS orbit, the collection highlights detail and significance in the landscapes below. Hadfield draws on his knowledge of geology, geography and meteorology to explore what the images reveal, using photography to consider human settlement, striking landscapes and the natural forces shaping the world.
