August 4, 2009 - Fires in Magadan Region near the Russian Kolyma Mountains
Tweet
Large forest fires that began in July in Russia's Magadan region continued into August, leaving dark brown burn scars across the remote, sparsely populated landscape. Smoke from these fires and others in Alaska and Canada were creating hazy skies across the Arctic.
This image shows more than two dozen large fires (outlined in red) that were burning when the MODIS on the Terra satellite passed overhead on July 28, 2009.
