Europe's Scorched Landscapes Seen from Space After Summer Heatwaves

Satellite images analyzed by BBC Verify reveal the devastating impact of Europe's record-breaking summer heatwaves, showing shrunken glaciers, wildfire scars, and dried-up rivers. The Danube has hit 30-year lows, exposing WWII warships and mammoth bones, while Alpine glaciers like the Rhône have retreated dramatically. Wildfires have burned over 90,000 hectares in France alone, and vegetation indices show widespread browning across the continent, raising concerns for agriculture and food production.
