Summary[edit]
DescriptionHeatwave in South America.jpg |
English: South America is going through a heatwave, with temperatures rising 10ºC above the seasonal average in many places. Argentina is most affected, with 17 provinces experiencing record-breaking temperatures. The heatwave has also resulted in wildfires in Chile and the loss of snow cover on several Andean glaciers in Argentina. This image, acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites on 7 February, shows that snow on the Overo Volcano Glacier has melted during the recent heatwave. Copernicus Sentinel-2 allows for the mapping of glaciers worldwide thanks to its high-resolution data. |
