Summary
| Description |
This is a cropped version of File:FiresinwesternCananda, june 2011.jpg. Description there: "Hot, dry weather contributed to the growth of several wildfires burning near the borders of Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Northern Territories, Canada in late June 2011. This image, taken by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on the Aqua satellite on June 26, shows thick smoke streaming south from a cluster of wildfires, which are outlined in red. In the south, a dark brown burn scar defines the area burned in a massive wildfire, the Richardson Fire, that started on May 15. On June 27, local officials reported that the Richardson Fire burned a staggering 613,360 hectares (1,515,646 acres or 2,368 square miles). The fire is part of the Bitumont Complex, which may include some of the fires burning along the east side of the burn scar." (description from NASA image page, by Holli Riebeek) |
