Fires in Ukraine

Numerous fires were detected burning in the Ukraine on August 9, 2002. This true-color Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) image shows the fires marked with red dots. The false-color image highlights burned areas, which stand out in reddish brown amid bright green. The large river at image left is the Dnipro River, which flows into the Black Sea.
