Wildfires in Greece captured by the Copernicus Sentinel-3 mission on 5 August 2021. The false-colour image has been processed in a way that highlights vegetation in red. 

The fires began on 4 August on the island of Evia and the north sector of the Attica region in Greece. In response, the Copernicus Emergency Mapping Service was activated. 

Parts of the Mediterranean and central Europe have experienced extreme temperatures this summer, with wildfires causing devastation on the Greek island of Evia. This Copernicus Sentinel-2 image shows the extent of the burned area in the northern part of the island.
