Australia fires from space 2019. The fires have scorched some 10 million hectares of land killed at least 27. After several fire-triggered clouds sprang up in quick succession on January 4. And smoke from Australian bushfires.

Close to 11 million hectares 27. There are several terms for the towering clouds that occasionally rise above the smoke plumes of wildfires and volcanic eruptions. Daytime satellite views of the ground are equally if not more dramatic.

Photographs and film footage have without a doubt left the world shocked but the view from space shows the scale of what Australians are having to deal with. Fire-breathing dragon of clouds. New South Wales has been worst hit.

Australia battles bushfires every year but the current fire season is decisively one of the worst. Australias deadly wildfires have killed at least 17 people since they began in September 2019 and continued into January 2020. An unprecedented number of bushfires have erupted on the east coast of Australia due to hot dry windy weather.
