Wildfires - Australia

Smoke produced from the deadly bushfires in Western Australia's South West can be seen clearly from space, with a NASA satellite capturing a stunning image of smoke billowing into the Indian and Southern Oceans.

The bushfire, believed to have been sparked by lightning, has killed two people and destroyed more than 143 buildings in the Shires of Waroona and Harvey, burning through 72,600 hectares.
