Alaskan skies reported to be clouded by Mongolian dust, Russian smoke |
Mongolian dust has spread across the Pacific Ocean and can be seen in the skies of Alaska. The dust from Mongolia’s Gobi Desert, coupled with smoke from raging Russian wildfires, have caused a whitish-yellow haze stretching east from China and Russia into south central Alaska. Gerry Guay, an Alaskan official, said the haze from Mongolia and Russia extends from Fairbanks to Kodiak, and from Valdez to the Aleutian Islands.
“It’s one of the biggest clouds of dust I’ve seen on the satellite images in a while,” Guay told the Associated Press. “It covered a fairly extensive area.” mongolia-web.com |
