A satellite image taken by NASA has revealed the true devastation of the bushfires on Australia's Kangaroo Island.
On December 16 NASA took an image of the island, which shows a beautiful green landscape.
But in a second image taken on January 7, more than a third of the island is seen on fire or have been completely burnt out.
Actively burning fires are shown as red points.
