Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Fire is commonly used as tool for land management and hunting by people living on the Tiwi Islands in the Northern Territory of Australia. Roughly one-third of the savanna woodlands on these islands burn each year. On June 19, 2017, the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Aqua satellite captured this true-color image of smoke streaming from a large cluster of fires on Bathurst Island. Red outlines indicate areas with heat signatures indicative of active burning.
