Summary

Description
English: This image, acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites on 28 June 2023, shows the trail of destruction left by the wildfires in Quebec. The wildfire season in Canada has now become the worst on record. The fires have ravaged more than 8.1 million hectares of land across the country, surpassing the previous record set in 1989. As of now, there are 483 wildfires currently burning in Canada, with over 250 of them classified as "out of control". The scale of these fires has led to record levels of carbon emissions, with the smoke reaching as far as Europe. Open data retrieved by the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites allows the monitoring and mapping of the impact of wildfires worldwide.
