Title Fires In Alaska and Northern Canada
Description Numerous forest fires were burning in the Yukon Flats region of east-central Alaska in mid-June 2004. The fires are burning in the wake of an incredibly active week of lightning, with a record-breaking, single-day total of 8,500 strikes on June 14, followed by another 6,200 strikes the next day (according to local news reports). This image from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on the Aqua satellite shows some of the largest, most rapidly growing fires on June 20. Areas where MODIS detected fires are outlined in red. The two northernmost fires in the scene, the Pingo and Winter Trail Fires, are the largest of several lightning-caused fires that are being collectively called the Solstice Complex. The Pingo was estimated to be 20,350 acres as of June 20, and the Winter Trail was 11,040. The other fires pictured here are not part of the complex: Preacher Creek?20,000 acres, Edward Creek?5,300 acres, Fort Hamlin Hills?3,300 acres, Boundary?4,000 acres, and Wolf Creek?5,200.

Title Fires In Alaska and Northern Canada
Description When NASA's Aqua satellite passed over eastern Alaska and western Yukon Territory, Canada, on June 29, 2004, the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) captured this awesome image of dozens of large wildfires belching huge columns of smoke as forests went up in flames. Areas where MODIS detected actively burning fires are outlined in red. A large number of the fires are burning in a region called the Yukon Flats, a vast floodplain of the northern reaches of the Yukon River. The flats are located between the Alaska Range Mountains to the south and the Brooks Range to the north, both of which are largely hidden by smoke in this scene. Many of these fires, including the 200,000-plus-acre Solstice Complex Fire located north of the "hump" in the Yukon River, were triggered during several days of extreme lightning activity. Small-scale evacuations occurred in some small towns and villages in the region, and sections of the Alaska Highway have been closed off and on. Reports from the Alaska Fire Service on June 29 indicated there were 57 large fires burning in the state. So far this season, 327 fires have affected nearly 840,000 acres.

Title Fires In Alaska and Northern Canada
Description Thick smoke covered much of central Alaska on June 30, 2004, when the Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor (SeaWiFS [ http://seawifs.gsfc.nasa.gov/SEAWIFS.html ]) on the Orbview-2 satellite captured this image. The tan smoke is being swept west over the Bering Strait and into Russia. The United States Environmental Protection Agency issued an air quality alert for over 80,000 people in Alaska's interior, north of the Alaskan range. In the center of the affected region is the city of Fairbanks, where the air quality has received a "hazardous" rating—the most serious level on the EPA's six point air quality index. At such levels, visibilities are one-half mile or less, and residents are urged to remain indoors.

Title Fires In Alaska and Northern Canada
Description Extreme fire behavior in Alaska continued across the turning of the calendar from June to July 2004. Yellowish-gray smoke hung over much of the state, while fires (locations outlined in red) continued to grow across the landscape. Many of these blazes have been burning since mid-June, triggered by a few days of record-breaking lightning. Hot, dry, and windy conditions since then have pushed fire behavior to extreme levels at many locations. The Boundary Fire, north of Fairbanks, was spreading at a rate of 3 miles an hour on July 1, and at times firefighters reported that flame lengths were as long as 30 feet. This image was captured on July 1 by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA?s Terra satellite. The high-resolution image provided above is 500 meters per pixel. The MODIS Rapid Response System provides this image at additional resolutions. Image courtesy Jacques Descloitres, MODIS Rapid Response Team, NASA-Goddard Space Flight Center

Title Fires In Alaska and Northern Canada
Description Huge, smoky fires continued to burn throughout east-central Alaska on June 24, 2004. Most of the blazes were triggered by lightning around June 14 and 15, when a record-breaking 8,500 strikes reportedly hit the state in just 24 hours. This image from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on the Terra satellite shows the region alight with fires that are billowing large amounts of smoke, which hangs over the Yukon Territory, Canada, at image right. Areas where MODIS detected active fires are outlined in red. At the top of the scene are the Pingo (top) and Winter Trail (to the southeast) Fires, each of which was more than 50,000 acres as of June 24. Along the Tanana River in the lower part of the scene, the Billy Creek Fire (to the south of image center) is creating a massive smoke plume. To the southeast of the Billy Creek Fire, the Porcupine Fire is giving off a smaller, but nonetheless impressive column of smoke.

Description The smoke from dozens of forest fires raging across eastern Alaska and western Canada continued to spread on June 30, 2004. The areas of highest aerosol optical thickness?indicating the greatest amounts of particles and the least amount of light able to penetrate the atmosphere?are spread over a wide area of southern Alaska, and are colored red in this image from the Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (TOMS). Decreasing smoke thickness appears in orange, yellow, and green. The thick haze stretches across the Bering Strait (upper left) and over to Siberia, it also stretches southward well out over the Gulf of Alaska. The smoke is causing visibility problems not just for travelers in the region, but also for firefighters trying to combat the fires and monitor their spread from the ground and from the air.
