Astronaut Terry W. Virts made the most of his last day in space.

Before boarding a Soyuz space capsule to return to Earth on Thursday (June 11), Virts snapped these awesome photos of the Great Pyramids of Giza in Egypt, Mount Ararat in Turkey and the partially frozen Hala Lake of the Chidamu Basin in China. He shared the images on Twitter.
