Summary
[edit]Description20240820 CanadianSmokeReachesWesternEurope.png |
English: For weeks, wildfires in northern Canada have been spewing vast amounts of smoke which has travelled thousands of kilometres across the Atlantic Ocean, darkening the skies of Western Europe. The plume first reached the British Isles and then continued south-eastwards.
This true-colour image, acquired by the Copernicus Sentinel-3B satellite at 10:07 UTC on 19 August 2024, vividly captures the smoke over the western coast of France and the Balearic Islands as it continues its journey across the Mediterranean Sea. |
