Three fires (red dots) in southern Florida are visible in this true-color MODIS image acquired April 4, 2002. Also visible is the city of Miami, and the northern edge of Cuba, including the city of Havana. The bright blue-green colors in the waters of the Strait of Florida are due to the Sun's light reflected off of chlorophyll in marine phytoplankton.
