NASA MODIS Image of the Day: July 30, 2011 - Smoke across central Canada
Smoke from wildfires blew across Canada’s Northwestern Territories and Nunavut Territory in late July 2011.
The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Terra satellite captured this natural-color image on July 25, 2011.
Wildfires near McLeod Bay created thick smoke, which had been observed by MODIS on July 23. Over the next couple days, winds carried the smoke hundreds of kilometers eastward. In this image, smoke forms a serpentine pattern across Nunavut and Hudson Bay.
