This color map shows Africa, portions of the Middle East, and Southern Europe. The Northern third of Africa is colored in shades of tan to highlight the desert regions. The middle of Africa is covered in red dots to indicate where fires have been detected. The Southern portion of Africa is green to reflect the more humid, vegetation-rich areas.
