Beautiful images of the earth over four decades

Recently, on Earth Day, NASA has published amazing images of our planet in the past four decades.

As one of the earliest photographs of Earth, NASA's works show the change as well as the consequences of global warming. These marvels include images of the Arctic ice cap taken from the International Space Station or Antarctic ice formation taken from Terra satellite. Besides, there are many impressive photos of the Tibetan plateau, showing clear images of China's Mount Everest and the Great Wall of China.
