Wildfires in Corrientes Province as seen by Landsat 9.

Summary edit

Description
Español: Incendios en la Provincia de Corrientes vistos por el satélite Landsat 9.
English: Amidst a record-setting heatwave and ongoing drought, northeastern Argentina has been experiencing widespread wildfires. In late January 2022, more than a thousand fires were burning around Corrientes province, a predominantly rural and agricultural region that has seen little to no rain in two months. Since the fires began in December, more than 520,000 hectares (1.3 million acres) have burned, killing wildlife and livestock, decimating pasturelands, and destroying crops such as yerba mate and rice.
