Summary
[edit]DescriptionHuge smoke cloud over the Republic of Sakha (Copernicus).jpg |
English: This image, acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-3 satellites on 27 July 2021, shows a smoke cloud of about 475,000 km2 covering the Republic of Sakha in Russia. According to official data from the Russian Federal Forestry Agency, as of 26 July, 18,800 km2 of vegetation had been lost to wildfires in Russia. More than 5,000 firefighters are involved in firefighting activities, but the scale of the fires is so large that 55% of the wildfires are not attended. The area most affected by the fires is the Republic of Sakha, which is depicted in this Sentinel-3 image. About 85% of all fires currently active in Russia are burning in this area and, because of the low visibility, the airport in the regional capital, Yakutsk, has been temporarily closed. Data from the Copernicus Sentinel missions allow to estimate the area burned as a result of forest fires with a high level of detail. |
