By the time this image was taken, smoke had lingered over the Norwegian Sea for more than a week as the fires continued to burn.

The northern shores of Great Britain are in the lower left corner of the image. The large image provided above has a resolution of 250 meters per pixel. The MODIS Rapid Response Team provides the image in additional resolutions. NASA image courtesy Jeff Schmaltz, MOD IS Land Rapid Response Team at NASA GSFC
