MELBOURNE COVERED BY THICK BLANKET OF SMOKE CAUSED BY BUSHFIRES IN AUSTRALIA 2020 4K

The massive bushfires sweeping across the country have shocked Australians in their size and ferociousness.

Since the start of the 2019 fire season, a staggering 10 million hectares has been burned, with all states and territories impacted except the ACT.

To put this into perspective, in NSW alone, almost 5 million hectares have been burned, which covers an area larger than the Netherlands.

In total, the area burned is almost the size of England, which is 13 million hectares.

Australia’s mega fires have also left others in the shade. The Amazon fires, which left the world reeling in August last year, saw about 900,000 hectares burned.

The California fires in 2018 claimed about 800,000 hectares.
