Summary

[edit]
Description
English: This image, acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites on 3 November 2021, shows a fire in progress near the town of Arman’, in the Magadan region in the Far East of Siberia. This unseasonal fire, likely started by lightning, is proving difficult for firefighters to contain. At this time of year, the air temperature in Arman’ falls to about 20 degrees below zero. Counterintuitively, this makes putting out the fire more difficult as almost all of the water in the area, which could be used to combat the fire, has frozen. The fire is also fuelled by strong winds, whilst the absence of snow, often present in the Magadan region in November, has allowed the flames to spread more easily. The Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellite mission enables the deployment of applications for detecting and monitoring fires, as well as mapping burnt areas, with a spatial resolution of 10 metres.
