Fires are spread across the plains at the foothills of South America’s Andes Mountains (left edge) on August 20, 2003. This Mod erate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) image from the Aqu a satellite shows hundreds, possibly thousands of "hot spots" spread across (clockwise from top left) Bolivia, Paraguay, Brazil, and Argentina. In eastern Paraguay, a huge plume of smoke spreads out like a fan over the terrain, while more diffuse smoke stretches over the bottom left of the scene.
The high-resolution image provided above is 500 meters per pixel. The MODIS Rapid Response System provides this image at MODIS’ maximum spatial resolution of 250 meters.
