Satellite image of wildfires around Athens (lower left), Greece, on 12th August 2024. Vegetation is red and burned areas are black. The fires started on the 11th August in a forest to the north-east of Athens. They quickly spread with the help of strong winds and dry conditions, eventually affecting 400 square kilometres of land. The fires were brought under control by the 13th August, but thousands of people were evacuated from their homes and one person died. Athens International Airport is at lower right.
