Stunning images from NASA's Terra satellite captured on Wednesday and Thursday show smoke plumes over Spain and the western Mediterranean, which they think has come from wildfires in Canada.
NASA states
that on June 27, 2013, the Moderate Resolution Imaging
Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Terra satellite captured this image
showing smoke plumes hovering over Spain and the western Mediterranean
Sea.
NASA says that data collected from its own satellites and other observation stations suggests the smoke came from wildfires in Canada.
They also it was possible but "less likely" that the some had drifted over Spain from wildfires as far afield as the US state of Colorado, or from other areas in the southwestern US.
