Forest Fire in Patagonia

n the last week of February 2008, a forest fire broke out in the Alerces National Park in Argentina’s Patagonia region. Fanned by strong winds, the fire grew explosively in just a few hours. The blaze spread eastward and scorched more than 7,000 acres of woodland in the foothills of the Andres Mountains.
