First humans to orbit Earth’s poles capture breathtaking images of ‘pure white’ region during historic SpaceX mission

They’re seeing what no human has seen before.

The first civilian astronauts to orbit Earth’s polar region revealed the breathtaking view of the gleaming “pure white” tundra in the first-ever video taken from space during their historic SpaceX mission.

The stunning footage, taken early Wednesday morning by four spacefarers aboard the SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule, captured the desolate snow-covered landscape of Antarctica as the Fram2 crew admired the tranquil scenery roughly 285 miles above the world’s southernmost and least-populated continent.

“Hello, Antarctica,” Chinese-born crypto billionaire Chun Wang, 43, posted on X with a six-minute video of the vivid landmass, during which his fellow travelers congratulated him for the groundbreaking achievement.

“Unlike previously anticipated, from 460 km above, it is only pure white, no human activity is visible.”
