WIlsons promonTory, ausTralIa
Forest fires such as these shown on Wilsons Promontory along
the southwest coast of Australia are expected to become
larger and more frequent as global warming increases. The Rus-
sian and Bolivian forest fires in 2010, the Australian bush fires
in 2009, and the Alaskan tundra fires of 2007 are examples of
recent fires that were the largest ever recorded.
