Summary

Description
English: This image acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites on 24 April 2021, shows ongoing fires in the Omsk region of southwestern Siberia, Russia. As the spring thaw begins, farmers in the Russian lowlands of western Siberia begin starting fires to clear farmland. As visible in the image, the active fire is about 86 km long in the area east of the Irtysh River. Hot spots are shown in red, frozen thermokarst lakes that are still frozen in blue and burnt soil in dark brown. Widespread agricultural slash-and-burn agricultural practices are common in this part of Russia at this time of year and they do not necessarily create hazards. However, intentional fires sometimes get out of control, posing a threat to natural resources and private property. In addition, smoke can contribute to poor air quality. Open data provided by the satellites of the Copernicus missions allow to assess air quality and to monitor biomass fires around the world.
