iss074e0247458 (Feb. 1, 2026) --- The frozen Khuvsgul Lake (left) in Mongolia appears hidden within the wintry landscape of the Siberian Taiga near the Russian border—the largest terrestrial biome on Earth, characterized by rugged mountain ranges, forested hills, and meadows, and home to wildlife such as brown bears, wolves, moose, and reindeer. The International Space Station was orbiting 261 miles above Asia when this photograph was taken.
