This photo released today by NASA shows thick plumes of smoke blowing
southwest over the Atlantic Ocean from the fires on the Canary Islands. The
desert coast of Western Sahara and Morocco make up the right edge of the
image. Wildfires sweeping across Spain´s Canary Islands have forced
authorities to evacuate around 11,000 people, the head of the regional
government said today.
