How?

It's not difficult at all. Typical eye sight is defined (in metric) as "6-6," which is defined as being able to discern a 1.75 mm contour change at a distance of six meters -- about five arc-minutes. The Grand Canyon is sixteen kilometers wide at the South Rim; so, at a height of the ISS (orbital height about 420 km), the Canyon would subtend about 2 degrees of vision -- 24 times what the eye can detect.
