As can be seen in this true-color scene acquired on April 2, 2002, many fires dot the landscape across portions of Central America. This image spans from Mexico?s Yucatan Peninsula across Guatemala and into El Salvador and Honduras.

This image was acquired by the Mod erate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), flying aboard NASA?s Ter ra satellite. The red boxes (see the high-resolution image) indicate where active fires were burning.
