Canada is experiencing its most destructive wildfire season on record, with hundreds of Wildfires burning from coast to coast. Satellite images show the extent of air pollution traveling south over the Canadian border and into the United States, causing hazy skies and triggering air quality alerts. The wildfires have spread across the country, with eastern provinces like Quebec, Ontario, and Nova Scotia being hit particularly hard. Rising temperatures driven by climate change and drought, as well as harsh weather conditions, have been identified as contributing factors. So far, 2,981 wildfires have burned 7.9 million hectares of land in Canada this year.
