Smoke originating from Canada’s wildfires has traveled as far as Norway.

The Canadian wildfire smoke has traveled across the US and reached Norway, according to scientists at the Climate and Environmental Research Institute in Norway. The smoke plumes have stretched from Canada across Greenland, Iceland, and made their way to Norway. While people may detect the smoke as a light haze, unlike hazardous pollution in parts of the US, they should experience no health impacts. However, the plume is expected to spread across swaths of Europe in the coming days, although people are unlikely to notice the smoke. Smoke from wildfires is not unusual for traveling long distances as it stays in the atmosphere longer from high injection at high altitudes. The smoke brings negative climate impacts, deposited in the Arctic during Arctic wildfires, which darkens the white surface affecting it to absorb more heat, accelerating Arctic warming, which can cause extreme weather events.
