Title : Sun glint in Gulf of Carpentaria and wildfires in Queensland, Australia
Caption :
Wildfires burn intensely in Queensland, Australia in this true-color image collected on October 31, 2001. Large blackened burn scars that can be seen intermittently across the eastern Australian countryside surround the fires. The satellite has thermal detectors uniquely designed to detect fires as hot as 500K without saturating, and it is being used by land managers in the U.S. to monitor and manage wildfires.
