Description
English: Alberta, Canada is in the midst of a ferocious fire season. As of June 3, 2019, blazes have scorched more than 656,842 hectares, an area of land larger than the state of Delaware. That’s also more than 4.8 times the five-year average, according to Albert Wildfire provincial wildfire situation report on June 3. The smoke from these fires have stretched more than 3,000 miles at times to cover much of western Canada and the western United States. On June 3, 2019, the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer acquired a true-color image of the fires and smoke across part of western Canada and northwestern United States. Alberta, Canada, in the north, is nearly covered with cloud (white) and smoke. A broad band of smoke blows southwestward across North Dakota and South Dakota.
