    There are hundreds of fires covering mostly uninhabited regions across eastern Russia, northern Scandinavia, Greenland and Alaska.

    In June, the fires released an estimated 50 megatonnes of carbon dioxide - the equivalent of Sweden's annual carbon output, according to Cams. (Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service)

    The smoke has reportedly reached Russia's Tyumen region in western Siberia, six time zones away from the fires on the east coast.
