Description
English: In 2019, Siberia experienced one of the most dramatic summers on record due to a number of mega wildfires that affected the region. The burn scars of these fires will be visible for many years to come. This image, acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites on 5 May 2020, shows the first two hot spots of this year within the Arctic circle. These hot spots indicating forest fires are located in an area of Siberia (67.11N, 132.12E) where the tundra is still covered in snow, and the rivers remain partially frozen. Copernicus Sentinel-2 data collected over time can be used to monitor environmental recovery, especially concerning agriculture and forestry
