First Snowfall of The Season Over the Pyrenees

First Snowfall of The Season Over the Pyrenees

Handout photo dated on November 9, 2025 shows The Pyrenees are an important ecological corridor stretching between France and Spain, connecting Atlantic and Mediterranean ecosystems across a rugged mountain landscape. The mountain range supports high-altitude grasslands, ancient forests, and glacial valleys, providing habitat for endemic species. The arrival of snow marks the beginning of the alpine winter and plays a key role in regional water storage. This image, acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-3 satellites on 9 November 2025, shows fresh snowfall above 1,900 metres, while lower elevations remain in shades of green and brown. This snowfall followed an Atlantic front, which brought up to 12 cm of snow and more than 40 l/m² of rain to parts of Spain. Photo by European Union, Copernicus Sentinel-3 imagery via ABACAPRESS.COM

Carballeda Fire Burns 700 Hectares of Land - Spain

Carballeda Fire Burns 700 Hectares of Land - Spain

View of the burned mountain range, on September 7, 2025, in Casaio, Ourense, Galicia (Spain). The fire in Carballeda de Valdeorras, declared on the afternoon of Saturday, September 6, in the parish of Casaio, advances this Sunday towards an area where the fire is "more controllable". The fire already burns about 700 hectares, according to the latest estimates of the Consellería do Medio Rural, and is also located in a terrain "more accessible" than the one that devastated more than 5,000 hectares in August in the same locality. The fire started in two distant points and, in the terrain between them, other outbreaks emerged, which suggests that "it was not accidental", and therefore it was possibly intentional.
