The forest landscape near Hyrynsalmi changed between May 2025 and May 2026, with forest cover decreasing across several areas. Sentinel-2 imagery shows these changes from space, making newly cleared areas and expanded logging patches visible across the landscape.

For forestry monitoring, satellite imagery makes it possible to track forest cover across large and remote areas, identify new clearings, compare logging activity over time, and maintain a visual record of landscape change. Historical imagery adds context by showing when and where those changes appeared.

Europe has been experiencing repeated periods of extreme heat throughout summer 2026, combined with persistent dry conditions. By August, drought had intensified across large parts of the continent, while France, Germany, Austria, and Hungary were among the areas that had already seen particularly dry conditions earlier in the summer.

These Sentinel-2 comparisons show several European landscapes at almost exactly the same dates in August 2025 and 2026. Looking at the same locations year over year helps put current conditions into context and makes differences in vegetation and land surface patterns easier to observe across entire regions.

Today marks 67 years since the first satellite image of Earth was captured.

On August 14, 1959, NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration Explorer 6 photographed Earth from orbit, producing a grainy black-and-white image of the Pacific Ocean and cloud cover with almost no recognizable surface detail.

Since then, Earth observation has evolved dramatically. Satellite imagery now reaches centimeter-level detail, historical archives span decades, and data from multiple satellite missions allows us to observe the same location in different ways — from natural color to spectral indices and band combinations.

What began with a single experimental image has grown into a powerful way to observe landscapes, track change, and better understand our planet across agriculture, forestry, infrastructure, disaster monitoring, and many other fields.

Mount Etna entered another intense eruptive phase in early August, producing lava flows and a large ash plume that spread far beyond Sicily. By August 11, volcanic ash had travelled around 220 km south to Malta, where 19 flights were cancelled, while Catania Airport suspended arrivals and departures. The aviation alert for Etna was raised to red as the eruption continued.

This Sentinel-2 comparison shows Mount Etna on August 4 and during the intensified activity on August 11 using a false-color band combination. Infrared-based visualization makes active lava stand out clearly and increases the contrast between volcanic activity and the surrounding landscape, helping track changes around an eruption from space.

Satellite monitoring doesn’t have to stop when clouds roll in or the sun goes down.

SAR imagery uses active microwave pulses to collect data about the Earth’s surface day and night, even through clouds, rain, fog, and smoke. It responds to surface roughness, moisture, shape, and material, revealing characteristics and changes that may be difficult to identify in optical imagery.

Wildfires across Central Spain

Central Spain faced a rapidly escalating wildfire in late July after a blaze broke out near Burgohondo on July 22. It spread through the surrounding forested areas and reached the Valle de Iruelas Nature Reserve. Investigators linked its origin to a spark caused by heavy machinery operating despite fire-risk restrictions. By July 26, the fire had affected around 50,000 hectares.

This Sentinel-2 comparison shows the landscape before and during the fire using a false-color band combination. Infrared information increases the contrast between unaffected vegetation and recently burned land, making fire-affected zones easier to distinguish across a large area.

Comparing satellite images from different dates helps map burned areas, follow wildfire progression, document landscape changes, and support damage assessment and recovery planning.

Forestry workflows rely on timely and reliable data — especially when monitoring large land areas over time.

PF Olsen, a leading forestry services company operating across Australia and New Zealand, shared their experience using LandViewer in their forestry workflows.

By using satellite imagery for monthly visual monitoring and harvested area tracking, the PF Olsen team streamlines routine processes and keeps forestry data updated throughout the month.

Thank you, PF Olsen, for trusting us!

Canadian wildfires seen from space

Wildfires continue to affect parts of Northwestern Ontario, where large fires are burning across remote forested areas and generating massive smoke plumes visible from orbit. As the fires spread, smoke has impacted air quality across parts of Canada and the northern United States.

These Sentinel-2 images show the same wildfire in both natural color and false color. While natural color provides a realistic view of smoke and active fire fronts, false color enhances burned areas, vegetation, and fire-affected zones, making it easier to distinguish the extent of the wildfire.

Satellite imagery supports wildfire monitoring by tracking active fires, assessing burned areas, documenting landscape changes, and providing timely information for emergency response and environmental assessment.

Just 12 days can make a visible difference across an agricultural landscape

Tama County is part of the U.S. Corn Belt, where corn and soybeans dominate the agricultural landscape. By early July, crops across the region are in a period of rapid development, making short-term changes in vegetation especially noticeable.

These Sentinel-2 images use the NDVI to highlight changes in vegetation vigor between June 29 and July 11. Comparing the same fields over time helps track crop development and quickly identify differences in field conditions across an entire agricultural area.

Sentinel-1A has concluded its mission after more than 12 years in orbit.

As part of LandViewer previous satellite data offering, Sentinel-1A imagery helped users explore SAR data for observing changes across land and sea.

Launched in 2014 as the first satellite of the Copernicus Sentinel family, Sentinel-1A became an important part of modern radar Earth observation. Its C-band SAR data helped monitor the Earth’s surface day and night, in all weather conditions.

The image featured in this post shows Melbourne, Australia — one of Sentinel-1A’s final radar acquisitions, captured on June 29, 2026, and processed by the European Space Agency.

Over the years, Sentinel-1A supported a wide range of applications, from flood mapping and wildfire monitoring to sea ice observation, maritime safety, land movement tracking, agriculture, infrastructure monitoring, and disaster response.

Although Sentinel-1A’s operational mission has ended, its archive remains available. In LandViewer, you can still access archival Sentinel-1A imagery collected throughout its mission since 2014

At the same time, the Sentinel-1 mission continues with the active satellites Sentinel-1B, Sentinel-1C and Sentinel-1D, so new SAR data will continue to be added.
