On 9 August 2009, theAdvanced Land Imager on NASA’s Earth Observing-1(EO-1) satellite captured this image of the Terrace Mountain Fire, west of Okanogan Lake in British Columbia, Canada. The large charcoal-colored patch of ground emerging from the clouds at image left is part of the burned area. Forested areas are deep green. An isolated hot spot to the southeast of the main burned area is generating smoke.
