      Copious smoke from wildfires in Canada stretched from Hudson Bay to   
      central Iowa on July 20, 2022. The heaviest pall covered Manitoba and   
      Ontario, with a long river of smoke drifting southward across Minnesota   
      and Iowa, thanks to winds from a gusty low-pressure system hanging over   
      southern Ontario and the Great Lakes region.   
      
      On July 20, the Canadian Interagency Forest Fire Center reported 391   
      fires actively burning across Canada, with 195 of those listed as   
      “uncontrolled”. In addition, FireSmoke Canada fire and smoke maps show   
      heavy clusters of fire across northern Manitoba and Saskatchewan.   
      
      The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) acquired this   
      true-color image of smoke from fires in Canada drifting southward on   
      July 20. Most of the smoke reaching the United States almost certainly   
      originates from the fires in Saskatchewan and Manitoba. This image is a   
      mosaic, created by data collected from two different passes of the   
      instrument over the region. Each pass is a slightly different color.
