Deadly wildfires in Hawaii seen from International Space Station (photo)

An aerial view of Hawaii, taken by the International Space Station camera.

Satellite imagery captured by the International Space Station (ISS) on Saturday (Aug. 12) shows the Hawaiian island of Maui four days after wildfires broke out on the land. The photo was taken as the spaceborne laboratory orbited some 259 miles (417 km) above the Pacific Ocean. 

As of Wednesday (Aug. 16), the death toll of Hawaii's catastrophic fires rose above 100. Shortly after confirmation of this figure, Governor Josh Green addressed the public saying "We are heartsick that we’ve had such loss."
