Earth Observations taken by the Expedition 22 Crew

ISS022-E-043894 (1 Feb. 2010) --- This image of Galveston, Texas and environs, including island, peninsular (Bolivar) and many mainland locations of Galveston County, was photographed from the International Space Station by one of the members of the Expedition 22 crew. The I-45 causeway is the thin line in the center of the photo. To the right of the causeway can be seen the Texas City Dike, which remains closed after being very severely damaged by Hurricane Ike as was nearly all this area in October of 2008. Texas City can be seen in the upper right portion of the photo.
