Taiwanese fishermen brace for Typhoon Krathon

Fishermen return to the port to tie up their ships in Keelung, northern Taiwan, as Typhoon Krathon is expected to make landfall on Wednesday.

Typhoons are common around the region at this time of year.

However, a recent study showed that they are increasingly forming closer to coastlines, intensifying more rapidly and lasting longer over land due to climate change.
