Canadian astronaut and expedition commander Chris Hadfield shared this photo from the International Space Station today. He thought it looked like "mouthwatering generous folds of icing"; to me, it looked more like a slice of walnut-studded cake. It's actually a photo of sand dunes in Saudi Arabia.

All I see is grated cheese.
CHEESE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this is totally from the gobi desert

Okay, brown is sand. What is the white icing?
definitely sand dunes. From the color and pattern i would have to guess either An-Nafud or arabian desert
