[:ja]宇宙飛行士がISSから撮影したサウジアラビア、カシーム地方付近の雷雲です。
この雷雲は南方に向かい、イエメンで多くの犠牲者を出した2016年4月の洪水を引き起こしたとされています。画像右方の黒い部分は岩の露頭で、地上300m程の高さになるものもあります。ちなみに積乱雲の雲頂までの高さは13kmになるものもあります。

[Earthview Wonders] No.840: Thunderclouds over Saudi Arabia🇸🇦
Astronaut on board ISS captured an oblique photo of thunderclouds over Al Qassim region, Saudi Arabia.
These storm clouds made their way south and were likely related to heavy rainfall and deadly flooding in Yemen on April 13-14, 2016. To the right side of the photo can be seen dark rock outcrops which can rise up to 300m above the surrounding desert floor. Cumulonimbus clouds can rise up to 12km from the ground.
