Our neighbors had a package tour to Alaska cut short when the Denali park was closed due to fires. I understand that the fire season in Alaska is lengthening and increasing in severity. UA Fairbanks Intl Arctic Research Center has an article about what they're tracking
Bummer for your neighbors. That's very disappointing for them.
As far as I know, wildfire area burned data is available for northern Canada since about 1990. The only Russian Arctic wildfire data I know of is satellite based since about 2002. But realistically it's nearly certain that Arctic wildfire is increasing in area and in intensity, i.e. fires are burning hotter.
Thanks Rick, always look forward to your posts

Question do we have data indicating that Alaska's experience is circumpolar?
