English: An astronaut aboard the International Space Station captured this photograph of the northernmost portion of Australia’s Northern Territory, including Melville, Bathurst, and several other Tiwi Islands. With an area of 5,786 square kilometers (2,234 square miles), Melville is the largest island in northern Australia.

Northern Territory is an Australian federal division characterized by open, sparsely populated land that ranges from wetlands in the north to desert in the south. Rivers flow north from higher elevations to a relatively flat coast and carry reddish-tan sediment into the sea, coloring the waters. As in other Australian territories, most of the population resides along the coast. Darwin is the capital and largest city in the area, with an estimated population over 148,000 (as of 2017).

Although the first settlers of this area were indigenous Australians, many of the place names come from explorers and the days of European settlement in the early 1800s. For example, Beagle Gulf is named after the HMS Beagle, the vessel that Charles Darwin famously sailed on. The Port of Darwin was named after the well-known evolutionary biologist even though he never visited the region.

Travelling inland, a large portion of the territory is designated as national park or conservation land. Kakadu National Park is the largest national park in Australia. Djukbinj National Park, approximately 80 kilometers (50 miles) east of Darwin, is mainly comprised of wetlands. Litchfield National Park attracts tourists with several waterfalls, the Blyth Homestead (a 1920s remnant of a typical pioneer home), and enormous termite mounds. The Cobourg Peninsula (top right) separates the Arafura Sea and Van Diemen Gulf and is designated as the Garig Gunak National Park.
Deutsch: Ein Astronaut an Bord der Internationalen Raum Station nahm diese Photographie von Australiens Northern Territory auf, die auch Melville, Bathurst und mehrere andere der Tiwi-Inseln zeigt. Mit einer Fläche von 5786 Quadratkilometern ist Melville die größte Inel im nördlichen Australien.

Das Northern Territory ist ein australisches Bundesterritorium, das durch ein offenes, nur spärlich beiedeltes Land charakterisiert ist. Es reicht von den nördlichen tropischen Feuchtgebieten bis zu Wüsten im Süden. Die Flüsse strömen aus höheren Lagen nordwärts zur relativ flachen Küste und tragen rötliche Sedimente in das Meer, wo sie as Wasser färben. Wie in anderen australischen Bundesstaaten lebt der Großteil der Bevlkerung entlang der üste. Darwin ist die Hauptstadt und größte Stadt des Northern Territory, mit einer geschätzten Bevölkerung von über 148,000 (Stand: 2017).

Obwohl die ersten Bewohner der Gegend Aboriginees waren, tragen viele der Orte im Northern Territory Namen, die sie von Entdeckern und Siedlern n den Anfängen der Landnahme durch Europäer zu Beginn des 19. Jahrhunderts erhalten haben. Zum Beispiel ist der Beagle Gulf benannt nach der HMS Beagle, dem Schiff, mit dem that Charles Darwin um die Welt reiste. Die Stadt Darwin trägt den Namen des Evolutionbiologen selbst, obwohl dieser nicht in der Region war.

Im Landesinnern ist ein Großteil des Territoriums als Nationalpark oder Landschaftsschutzgebiet ausgewiesen. Der Kakadu National Park ist der größte Nationalpark in Australien. Djukbinj National Park, etwa 80 Kilometer östlich von Darwin, besteht weitgehend aus Feuchtgebieten. Litchfield National Park zieht durch zahlreiche Wasserfälle, die Blyth Homestead (die aus den 1920er Jahren stammenden Rest eines typischen Pionierwohnhauses) und enorme Termitenbauten die Touristen an. Die Cobourg Peninsula (im Bild oben rechts) trennt die Arafurasee vom Van Diemen Gulf und ist als Garig Gunak National Park ausgewiesen.
