Satellite images illustrate the scale of devastation in southern France caused by the country’s worst wildfire in seven decades.
The fire was first recorded on August 5 near the town of Ribot in the Aude department of southeastern France. In less than four days, it has destroyed some 42,000 acres (17,000 hectares) of forest and farmland – an area larger than the French capital, Paris.
The scale of the disaster was captured in stunning images taken by the high-resolution Pleiades Neo satellites, operated by European aerospace giant Airbus.
