Quick excerpt: The city and harbor of Den Helder in the northern Netherlands has been the home port of the Dutch Royal Navy for over 175 years.

This astronaut photograph is an oblique view (an angled, not a “straight down”view) of the Den Helder region taken from the International Space Station (ISS).
