DescriptionPortugal's Madeira Island Fire Raging (28819877271).jpg
Smoke from several large fires burning on Portugal's Madeira Island were seen blowing over the Atlantic Ocean on Aug. 10 when NASA's Terra satellite passed overhead.
Madeira is an archipelago of four islands located off the northwest coast of Africa. They are an autonomous region of Portugal.
The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Terra satellite captured this natural-color image at 8:25 a.m. EDT (12:05 UTC). Places where MODIS detected active fire are located in red.
