Summary
| Description |
English: Just north of Athens, Greece, lies Mount Parnitha, much of which is a national park. Home to numerous endemic (unique) species, Parnitha comprises one of the few remaining forested areas near Athens. On June 28, 2007, the mountain caught fire and burned for several hours with great intensity due to strong winds.
On July 20, 2007, the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) captured the scar the fire left on the landscape. Around the burn scar, forest remains green, although the vegetation is interrupted by areas of pavement and bare ground. South of the forest, the city of Athens changes the landscape, with gray-white surfaces of pavement and buildings. |
