This is a map of Greece showing the distribution of the wildfires as patches of red. The scale on the bottom right-hand of the image indicates that 1 cm is equal to 50 kilometres. At the top of the image, there is a land mass labelled ‘Greece’, scattered across which there are 12 small red patches, the largest of which is located to the south-east corner and is labelled ‘Kalyvia fire’. To the east, there is a relatively small archipelago labelled Euboea, on which there is one small and two larger patches of red, the larger patches are labelled ‘Styra fire’ and ‘Aliveri fire’ respectively. To the south-west of this, there is a much larger archipelago labelled ‘Peloponnese’; from east to west, there are five large patches of red ranging from approximately 0.5 cm to 1 cm across, these are labelled ‘Ilia fires’, ‘Arcadia fires’, ‘Messinia fires, ‘Taygetos fire’ and ‘Pamon fire’ respectively. There are two additional smaller patches of red on this archipelago labelled ‘Areopolis fire’ and ‘Corinthia fires’. There are various smaller Greek islands scattered in the sea all around these land masses.
