Hundreds of fires are raging across Russia as wildfire season descends early on the world’s largest country.
Some parts of Russia have already reported a record number of spring wildfires, according to The Siberian Times. Also, smoke plumes from some Siberian forest fires have drifted across half the nation and have even been spotted over Finland (that’s nearly 2,000 miles, or 3,200 km — the equivalent of a fire in New York drifting to Albuquerque, New Mexico).
In late April, wildfire smoke turned the sky black in the Siberian city of Novosibirsk — Russia’s third most populous city — prompting the government to issue a “black sky” health warning.
An intense spring heatwave is partially responsible for the early fires, according to News.ru reports. The heatwave makes fires sparked by lightning strikes and human activity more likely. However, some of these wildfires may be the remains from last summer’s fires — also known as “zombie” fires.
Zombie wildfires occur when ice and snow cover a flame, but don’t fully extinguish it. This phenomenon is common in the Arctic tundra, where carbon-rich peat can fuel smoldering flames all winter. When the spring melt arrives, those underground embers can be rekindled, igniting new wildfires.
A video filmed in February 2021 in Yakutia — a Russian republic infamous for being one of the coldest places on Earth — showed what these zombie fires can look like. In the video, a man — standing in snow up to his ankles in a field — digs down to reveal a layer of peat. Smoke seeps out of the hole, steaming into the freezing air. Besides being an eerie sight, these zombie fires release tons of carbon and methane from the peat, contributing to global warming.
This year’s early warming trend is unsurprising. In 2020, Russia set a number of alarming heat records, including Siberia’s hottest May on record. The region broke other records too; on June 20, temperatures in the northern Siberian town of Verkhoyansk broke 100 degrees Fahrenheit (38 degrees Celsius) for the first time, becoming the hottest-ever temperature documented above the Arctic Circle, Live Science reported.
