A moderate heat signature is currently being picked up by satellites over an active wildfire burning near Pampa del Infierno, Argentina, which has charred 330 hectares (815 acres) since it started on September 28, 2026. The thermal activity is underscored by 14 heat detections captured nearby over the past 48 hours, mapping the extent of the spread in the area.
While this incident develops locally, it unfolds against a broader national backdrop where 990,020 hectares have burned across the country so far in 2026, marking a figure that is 76% below the two-decade average. This context comes even as the region's typical fire season does not traditionally run until the months of December to March.
