Landsat 9 captured an image of the ongoing fire in Uljin county on South Korea’s west coast. The false color image looks beneath the smoke and shows the burn scar as reddish-brown and the heat signature from the fire as bright red.

The Landsat Science Team met virtually on February 9, 2022. Topics included, but were not limited to, Landsat 9 operations, calibration, and data release plans; Landsat 7 mission status; Landsat and Sentinel harmonization; and the future of land imaging.

This Landsat 9 image shows a portion of the Otago Harbor area that is situated on the southeastern coastline of New Zealand's South Island.

The Geba River on the west coast of Guinea-Bissau is seen in this natural color Landsat 9 image from February 8, 2022. Silt carried by the river into the Atlantic Ocean creates intricate patterns as it moves around the Bissagos (or Bijagós) Islands. The country’s capital, Bissau, can be seen on the north side of the estuary and appears as light brown.
