Fires in Mexico
31 May 2004
Numerous fires were burning in southern Mexico across a broad swath that spanned the Pacific to the Altantic Coast at the latitude of Lake Chapala, which glints brightly in the Sun to the southwest of image center. This image of the fires, which are marked in yellow, was captured by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASAs Terra satellite (Source: Earth Observatory).
