In a picture taken from the ISS, smoke can be seen emerging from the wildfires currently blazing across Nova Scotia.
Smoke billowing out from the vicious wildfires blazing across Nova Scotia on Canada's eastern coast has been snapped from an astronaut aboard the International Space Station .
The ISS photograph, taken by a member of the Expedition 69 crew, shows the fire near Shelburne on May 29. By May 31, this fire had been burning for four days, and had scorched over 75 square miles, making it the largest forest fire in Nova Scotia's history. It's thought that these blazes in Nova Scotia grew rapidly due to dry and windy conditions, exacerbated by the fact that the province had an abnormally dry spring, only receiving around half of the usual amount of rainfall across April. The same spate of dry weather andthroughout the spring was also a major driver of the fires in British Columbia and Alberta.
