As Australia continues to burn in the midst of the worst fire season on record, smoke from our shores has now reached as far as South America.
Residents of both Chile and Argentina have reported grey skies and bright red sunsets, caused by smoke drifting across the Pacific.

Chile dawned cloudy, but not because of the weather but because of the smoke from the fires in Australia. Smoke is a threat to the Ice Fields of the Argentine Patagonia. The smoke is coming to South America. The world's great media prefer silence #australiafire #AustraliaBurning
