No GeoTIFF is available for this photo.Image Caption: Kuwait, weeks after the last oil well fire had been extinguished, shows the region free of the smoke since early February, 1991. The oily smoke plumes from the fires were mostly contained within a few hundred kilometers of the source and extended upward 3-5 km into the atmosphere. The large areas of oily, blackened surfaces around the Al Ahmadi and Al Burquan oil fields show the deposit of particulates and how the appearance of the sands have changed.
