Copernicus captures the immense cloud of smoke from the Vall d'Ebo fire

August 16 from 2022 - 14: 07

The immensity of the forest fire produced in La Marina Alta is captured by one of the satellites of the Earth Observation Program of the European Union. The fire that started in the Vall d'Ebo due to lightning has already burned more than 9.500 hectares in a perimeter of 65 km and more than a thousand people have been evicted.

After almost three days of activity, the Sentinel satellite of the Copernicus program shows the enormous cloud of smoke that covers the entire region and travels towards the Balearic Islands.

The fire leaves, every day, impressive and tragic images of how the flames devastate the green lung of the region. But to these snapshots is added the image of how it is seen from space.
