One of the places in Canada where it is possible to observe this phenomenon is the La Mauricie National Park, shown in this Copernicus Sentinel-2 image from 7 October 2021.

Summary[edit]

Description
English: Each year, autumn foliage transforms urban and suburban landscapes in a few areas of the world, with North America and Canada being the most prominent. This phenomenon is caused by the senescence, or ageing, of the leaves that paints forest canopies in an explosion of vermillion red, orange, yellow and brown. One of the places in Canada where it is possible to observe this phenomenon is the La Mauricie National Park, shown in this Copernicus Sentinel-2 image from 7 October 2021. This national park is a protected area of over 500 square kilometres halfway between Quebec City and Montreal. With a revisit time of five days, the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites deliver comprehensive information on the state of natural areas with dense vegetation.
