This true-color Terra MODIS image from September 25, 2002, features the southernmost tip of Brazil, South America’s largest country. Also shown are the southern tip of Paraguay (upper left corner), easternmost Argentina (just below Paraguay), and northern Uruguay (bottom center). MODIS detected a number of fires, marked in red, burning throughout the region. The large lake on the Brazilian coast is the Lagoa dos Patos, and just below it is the Lagoa Mirrim, which straddles the border between Brazil and Uruguay.
