Canada Wildfire Smoke Crossed the Atlantic to Cover Parts of Europe

Smoke from wildfires in Canada has traveled over 2,000 miles across the Atlantic Ocean to cover the skies above parts of western Europe.

The smoke remains high up in the atmosphere and there’s no indication that it’s affecting air quality, unlike what happened in the US earlier this month, when dangerous levels of pollution led to flight halts and postponed events. For Europeans, the impact may only be seen in particularly vivid skies during sunrise and sunset, according to the UK’s Met Office.
