ISS036-E-017957 (11 July 2013) — One of the Expedition 36 crew members aboard the International Space Station photographed this image of Typhoon Soulik just east of northern Taiwan in the Pacific Ocean. [Editor’s update: Thousands of people were evacuated in Taiwan; and the entire island was declared an “alert zone,” as Typhoon Soulik made landfall early on July 13 (local time), pounding the country with powerful winds and heavy rain].
