STS105-706-87 United States: Mono Lake, California.

STS105-715-43 United States: Okanogan National Forest fires, near vertical, Aug. ??--north end of the Columbia Plateau, WA - no times.

STS105-719-68 United States: Pacific Northwest--thick smoke.

STS105-719-67 United States: Pacific Northwest--thick smoke.

STS105-719-54 United States: Pacific Northwest--thick smoke.

STS105-E-5421 United States: California wildfires, August 20, 2001. After undocking with Space Station Alpha, astronauts on the Space Shuttle photographed wildfires burning in the western U.S. using a digital camera. With a shorter lens, astronauts recorded the regional view above, showing the smoke around the California Central Valley blowing into Nevada.

STS105-E-5417 United States: California wildfires, August 20, 2001. The Hoover Complex Fire had burned 3,750 acres in Yosemite National Park and was not threatening structures or communities, at the time the photo was taken. The Creek wildfire covered approximately 6,700 acres and was 50% contained. It threatened the towns of Groveland and Big Oak Flat and had spread into Stanislaus National Forest. The Leonard Fire, also near Stanislaus National Forest, covered 2,455 acres and was 20% contained.

STS105-715-15 United States: Okanogan National Forest fires - no times. Channeled Scablands, along the Columbia River east of the Cascade Range, are possible analogue for large-scale breaches of canyon walls on Mars. Glacial ice dams broke between 18,000 and 13,000 years ago, in response to volcanism near modern Lake Pend Oreille, ID. 500 mi3 of meltwater stripped away the glacial soil and carved deep valleys (coulees) into the bedrock. The coulees were formed in five catastrophic events; glacial Lake Missoula was the source of the flood waters.
