January 2014 Grampians (Victoria) fire imaged from space by NASA Landsat 8 satellite

Posted 24 January 2014 NASA’s Earth Observatory website now contains images of the Grampians National Park bush fire which occurred earlier this month. The images were captured by the Landsat 8 satellite. It is only with images taken from space that you can gain a true appreciation of the size of the fire.
