Same crater; two different photos with ISS in front

This is weird. Must have been some Canadians on STS-100. During what had to have been two different orbits, they took two pictures of ISS with the same Canadian crater (in Quebec) in the background. I found the images here. Look at the 2nd and 7th images. (All of the images are of the same crater, but only those two have ISS in the foreground.) <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <hr style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em" />Will Pittenger<hr style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em" />Add this user box to your Wikipedia User Page to show your support for the SDC forums: <div style="margin-left:1em">{{User:Will Pittenger/User Boxes/Space.com Account}}</div> </div>

Manicougan crater is a popular photographic target, and not just for Canadian astronauts. It was one of the first impact craters to be discovered on Earth. (The first was Barringer Crater, of course.) It's very easy to recognize from space, so it's probably inevitable that it keeps showing up. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p> </p><p><font color="#666699"><em>"People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint it's more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly . . . timey wimey . . . stuff."</em>  -- The Tenth Doctor, "Blink"</font></p> </div>
