Summary

Description
English: This image, acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites on 14 October 2021, shows the smoke generated by a peat fire near Yekaterinburg in Russia. Since the second week of October, violent fires have been raging in the peat bogs near the largest city in the Urals. Although firefighters are working to put out the fires, smoke has filled the skies. As a result, several roads have been closed due to poor visibility and several commercial flights have been diverted to nearby airports. Peat fires are common in this part of Russia but are unusual at this time of year. With active peat fires so late in the autumn, the 2021 fire season is one of the longest in recorded history, according to media reports. Data from Copernicus satellite missions allow for high-definition spatial monitoring of fires in progress around the world.
