"The devastating scope of wildfires raging in Australia's Northern Territory
for the past two months has now been graphically depicted in an animation.
Earth observation scientist Robbi Bishop-Taylor of
Geoscience Australia
shared the timelapse video on X/Twitter, with an explanation of just how
massive the fire ravaged area is.
According to authorities, this fire season has been the most severe in decades,
consuming more than 12.8 million hectares (31.6 million acres) of land in just
two months.
It comes as fires continue in the Australian state of Queensland, with
residents told to flee their homes last week.
An El Niño weather event, which is linked to extreme occurrences like
wildfires, has precipitated an especially high-risk bushfire season."
