Fires are still burning in Canada. New fires – some caused by lightning – raged in Quebec in early June, prompting evacuations and air quality warnings. @nasa’s Aqua satellite captured this image of smoke from the fires on June 3, 2023. https://go.nasa.gov/3oQEN10

Satellite image of central Canada, with the province of Ontario on the left and Quebec on the right. Ontario is mostly shrouded in gray-brown smoke and many smaller plumes of smoke streak across Quebec. The land below is mostly green and brown with some dark blue bodies of water and bright white clouds covering the lower right corner of the image.
