Satellite View of Smoke and Haze from Fires in Sumatra, March 2014

Heavy smoke and haze cover Sumatra, Indonesia, due to widespread fires designed for land clearing. Captured by NASA’s Aqua satellite on March 12, 2014, this true-color image highlights the severe environmental impact and visibly demonstrates poor air quality over the region. Thick bands obscure much of Riau region compelling school and flight cancelations and leading to hazardous living conditions. Useful for understanding pollution, environmental emergencies, land management, and the effects of illegal farming practices.
