Patagonia Ice Field

ESA astronaut Tim Peake took this image from the International Space Station during his six-month Principia mission. He commented: "One of my favourite pics so far – Patagonia's beautiful southern ice field."

Professional photographer Max Alexander has known Tim Peake from before his launch into space and gave Tim photography tips during his mission. Max comments: "A Patagonian ice field spills into the ocean at the southern tip of Chile, seeming to create swirls of chocolate and cream frozen in time. This is one of Tim's favourite photographs - maybe he's missing ice cream… "
