      Heavy smoke covered much of Siberia’s verdant taiga on June 24, 2022,   
      when the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on board   
      NASA’s Aqua satellite acquired this true-color image. The dark gray   
      smoke rose from numerous red hot spots, each marking an area of   
      actively burning fire.   
      
      The fires seen in this image are burning in the Sakha Republic   
      (Yakutia) in the east and Krasnoyarsk Krai in the west. According to a   
      report published on June 25 by Tayga.info, 23,800 hectares were on fire   
      in Yakutia, wildfires were widespread, with 16,600 hectares on fire in   
      the Siberian Federal District, Buryatia, and Transbaikalia. In   
      Chukotka, located in the far northeast, 36,000 hectares were burning.   
      
      They also reported that the Commission for Prevention and Elimination   
      of Emergency Situations (CES) decided to not fight fires currently   
      active on more than 5,600 hectares in Krasnoyarsk Krai. The fires in   
      the non-extinguish areas of Krasnoyarsk appear to have expanded   
      rapidly, from 93 hectares in flames between June 15-21 to 5,600   
      hectares on June 25. While the acreage involved in fire beyond those   
      not to be extinguished was not stated, about 500 million rubles had   
      been dedicated to fire fighting in Krasnoyarsk in June.
