Californian wild fires
Californian wild fires. Satellite image of the wild fires that raged in California, USA, in late October 2003. Huge plumes of smoke are seen being blown out over the Pacific Ocean. High winds fanned the flames, helping to spread and maintain the fires. The fires covered a wide area of southern California, and killed several people. Hundreds of homes were destroyed and a state of emergency was declared. This image was taken on 26th October 2003 by the MODIS instrument on board the Terra satellite

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the devastating Californian wild fires that ravaged the state in late October 2003. From high above, a satellite image taken by the MODIS instrument on board the Terra satellite reveals an alarming scene of destruction and chaos. The vast expanse of southern California is engulfed in billowing plumes of smoke, ominously drifting towards the Pacific Ocean. The intensity of these fires was exacerbated by strong winds that relentlessly fanned the flames, causing them to spread rapidly across a wide area. Tragically, lives were lost as several people fell victim to this catastrophic event. Additionally, hundreds of homes were reduced to ashes, leaving countless families displaced and communities devastated. Declared a state of emergency, California struggled to contain and combat this relentless inferno that left behind an indelible mark on its landscape. The vertical columns of smoke captured in this image serve as a stark reminder of nature's destructive power when unleashed upon human settlements. As we reflect upon this photograph from Science Photo Library, it serves as both a testament to our vulnerability in the face of natural disasters and a call for greater environmental consciousness. It reminds us that we must continue striving for sustainable practices and effective disaster management strategies to mitigate such tragedies in future generations.
