Fires are smoldering in Indonesia, which is in a severe and widespread drought. Some of these are tropical peatland fires, which burn slowly, release higher amounts of air pollution, and are notoriously difficult to extinguish.

Red dots have been added to show where the MODIS instrument detected fires. The dots are primarily on the western and southern parts of Indonesia and often cluster together. Credit: NASA
