A chunk of the Amazon rainforest has been ravaged by fires for weeks — and the smoke from the infernos is so intense, it can be seen from space.

The blazes, which have engulfed parts of the states of Rondônia, Amazonas, Pará, and Mato Grosso in Brazil, were captured on Aug. 11 and 13 by NASA’s Aqua satellite.

Fire activity in the region typically begins in July and August ahead of the arrival of the dry season — with farmers setting fields ablaze to clear land for crops. Activity peaks in early September and ends by November, NASA said.

Last week, smoke from the blazes forced Amazonas to declare a state of emergency, according to Euro News.

Santiago Gassó, a researcher at NASA’s Goddard center, warned that the smoke layer stretched about 3.2 million square kilometers over Latin America. That area is equivalent to about 1.2 million square miles — roughly one-third of the United States.

Fires in the Rondônia nature reserve, which borders the Amazon, have been burning for more than two weeks.
