Caption by Space Station Academy student: The picture shows mountains near Manta, Ecuador. Some part of the mountains have ice, while the other part does not. It is really noticeable. I really like how you can see the separation between the ice and the mountain. This indirectly tells me that the left part of the mountains is at a lower altitude than the right part of the mountains.
