Fires in Central and Southern Africa

Description:
|
The southern Africa burning season continues into late September. This true-color image from the Mod erate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Ter ra satellite was acquired on September 25, 2002, and shows fire detections marked with red dots. The center of the image is located roughly on the Makgadikgadi Salt Pans in east-central Botswana; the shallow salt basins stand out brightly just south of image center. To the northwest is the broomstick-shaped Okavango River Delta. Fires are scattered across Botswana (left) and Zimbabwe (right), with especially smoky skies in the lower right corner.
